In particular, he brings expertise in project cost management for private commercial, local authority and NHS projects. At Britcon he is initially taking commercial responsibility for Eddie Stobart and York University.
Tony Mulcrone has also joined the Britcon team as site manager. With a strong engineering background Tony will add value on construction projects with a heavy emphasis on sub-structures and external works.
Craig Bell has been recruited to the Britcon Engineering Services (BES) division of Britcon as structural steel 3D (Tekla) draftsman.
