Philip Wainwright, an engineer as well as a chartered accountant, left Laing O鈥橰ourke in March 2015 to take up a new job as finance director of Byrne Group. After less than a year with Byrne he is now moving again to Willmott Dixon.
He has been recruited to succeed Duncan Canney, who is retiring as Willmott Dixon鈥檚 group finance director at the end of the year, having looked after the company鈥檚 books for the past 30 years.
Philip Wainwright joins the Willmott Dixon board on 1st January 2016. His arrival will also see Willmott Dixon鈥檚 current deputy chief finance officer Graham Dundas promoted to chief financial officer.
Chief executive Rick Willmott said: 鈥淧hilip鈥檚 arrival is part of our long-term strategic planning to support our corporate plans. His skill, expertise and track-record, especially in working for similarly large privately owned companies make him an ideal fit for our company and I鈥檓 confident he鈥檒l be a great addition to our main board. I am looking forward to working with him as we shape the next chapter of our company's evolution.鈥�
