Construction firm names new CEO

Huthwaite construction firm nmcn has appointed its new chief executive.

Lee Marks will join the company from NG Bailey in the first half of the year. Marks has been group commercial director since May 2013.

Marks said: “I am delighted to be appointed chief executive of nmcn and am very much looking forward to working with my new colleagues, customers and stakeholders to unlock the special potential of the group. nmcn is a strong business, well positioned in its chosen markets and operating in sectors that play a critical role for both the people and economy of the UK. It is an exciting opportunity to lead the next chapter, positioning the business for sustainable future growth and delivering for all stakeholders.”

Ian Elliott, acting chairman, said: “We are looking forward to Lee joining the group as CEO. His breadth of experience, particularly commercial and end-to-end process management, and leadership skills will strengthen the executive team and enable it to empower, support and develop our talented workforce leveraging our potential more fully. We are confident that the new team under Lee’s leadership will quickly move the group forward and rebuild value for our stakeholders.”

nmcn has been without a chief executive since John Homer left in October last year. Two weeks later the company said it was launching an internal investigation after making a £15m loss.
