New appointment to head up Claritas鈥檚 offsite arm

Expanding Kent contractor Claritas has brought in a developments director at Places for People to head up its offsite operation.

The firm, which last week saw Matt Cova, the previous head of Kier鈥檚 major projects business, start full-time as its group managing director, has asked Chris Spiceley to lead its Magna offsite arm.

Spicely, who joins on Monday, is Places for People鈥檚 director for developments and delivery optimisation having started at the property and regeneration firm nearly two years ago.

He has also held a senior project manager role at Mace and a programme director post at Lendlease.

Magna is a wholly owned subsidiary of Claritas and works as a principal contractor on MMC jobs with joint venture partner Premier Modular.

The pair are currently working on a 拢7.5m housing scheme (pictured) in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, for Wycombe district council and at St Peter鈥檚 Hospital in Chertsey, Surrey.

Claritas, which last year changed its name eight years after being set up as AMCM, is expecting income in its current financial year, which ends this March, to be around 拢38m but wants this to be 拢75m in 2021/22.

The company is looking at a 拢250m turnover and annual pre-tax profits of 拢7.5m by 2025/26 and as is also eyeing expansion out of its London and South-east heartland.
