Consultancy restructures management team as project pipeline hits £100m mark
Nottingham-based civil and structural engineering consultancy Howard Ward Associates (HWA) has restructured its management team after securing a sizeable pipeline of work with an approximate construction value of £100m.
Dan Bailey, previously a director at the firm, has been named managing director following incumbent Giles Ward’s decision to step back.
Bailey joined HWA in 2013 and has 25 years’ experience as a civil and structural engineer.
Meanwhile, Andy Bowler and Dave Taylder, who have been with HWA for six and just under two years respectively, have been promoted to director level.
The news follows a period of rapid growth for the company, which recently welcomed three new faces in senior technician Nadeem Chaudhry, administrator and business development assistant Iqra Saleem and senior civil engineer Theodora Francis.
Giles Ward said: “During my 26 years with the company I have been delighted to see our client base, portfolio and the range of services we offer continue to grow. We have been involved with a huge array of schemes across the country from pre-acquisition through to project completion – from heritage to healthcare, and the future of the company is positive as we expand our team to manage our strong pipeline of work.
“Congratulations to Andy, Dave and Dan on their new positions – it is an exciting period for the team, as we focus on nurturing the relationships that we have with our clients and celebrate the fantastic work that has been achieved to date.”
Dan Bailey added: “I am extremely pleased to be taking on this new role at an exciting time for the company, and to be able to reward Andy Bowler and Dave Taylder for the key parts they have played in the success of the business over recent years. Congratulations to them on stepping up to director level.
“I believe that an expanded senior management team gives a solid base for growth and we look forward to further diversifying HWA’s client base and the sectors in which we work.”
