Rider Levett Bucknall has nabbed Turner & Townsend director Andrew Stamps to head up its infrastructure business.

Stamps joins as national head of infrastructure after spending more than five years at T&T, where he has been in charge of the firm鈥檚 infrastructure work across the Midlands.

He joined T&T in 2014 from Laing O鈥橰ourke after 10 years working at the country鈥檚 biggest private contractor where his roles included commercial manager and commercial leader.

Stamps鈥 (pictured) CV also includes a 12 year stint at Sisk where he was a QS.

RLB has been on a recruitment drive of late, last month raiding Aecom for a new national head of programme management.

The firm is currently outlining its 2030 growth strategy plan to its 675 UK staff ahead of a formal launch later this year.

RLB saw turnover in the year to April jump 14% to 拢80m with infrastructure accounting for 10% of its UK income. 

It wants to double infrastructure turnover by 2030 and RLB board director Mark Weaver said: 鈥淏ringing Andrew in to head up this area reinforces the importance of this market to us.鈥

It is forecasting an overall turnover of 拢108m in the next four years with the business expected to employ 850 people by 2023.
