Firm looking to grow civils and structures work
John F Hunt has brought in a regional build director from Balfour Beatty to a new role of operations director at its demolition and civils business.
The division, called John F Hunt Ltd, also includes structures with Darren Potter starting work there this week.
His CV also includes spells at John Laing, where he started as a project engineer, Laing O鈥橰ourke, that took in more than 12 years, and Careys where he was head of delivery.
The firm said: 鈥淧reviously involved in tendering and delivery of complex schemes with values upwards of 拢60m, his aptitude for negotiation, execution and hand over of high-profile projects will be an asset to the business.鈥�
His background includes aviation and MoD work as well as HS2 and nuclear schemes.
Potter is being joined at the firm next week by Nick Blackman, formerly a pre-construction director at General Demolition. He will become a pre-construction lead at Hunt when he joins next Monday.
In its last set of results, John F Hunt said it expected workloads to remain buoyant in 2024.
The firm said income was up 44% to 拢157m in the year to March 2023 with pre-tax profit up 73% to 拢9.5m. Revenue at its demolition and civils arm was up 15% to 拢67m while turnover at its biggest arm, regeneration, doubled to 拢79m.
