New faces at construction company

BIRMINGHAM-BASED contractor Colmore Tang Construction has appointed five new faces to its senior team including a quartet from defunct development group Carillion.

Steve Underwood joins as chief operating officer from Shaylor Group and Paul Reynolds is the new operations director for the Midlands region.

Gill McQuade has been recruited as head of procurement, Nicola Markall as compliance manager and Louise Perry as head of sustainability.

Colmore Tang Construction is working on several projects in the city including the Connaught Square apartments in Digbeth and was behind the redevelopment of Auchinleck House to create the new Park Regis hotel in Broad Street.

Group chief executive Andy Robinson said: “We have a pipeline of work through until 2021 so we felt the time was right to expand and bring in highly qualified senior managers who share our vision and values.

“It’s a real coup to know that Paul, Gill, Nicola and Louise have joined us from Carillion, as well as Steve moving over from Shaylor Group to take the reigns.

“It proves how strong we have become and we now have a team of very experienced people who share our intention to grow the business.”

“The business is going from strength to strength and we have some huge, exciting developments coming up.

“I’m confident that with our new management team in place, we can only get stronger.”
