Garry Bowker was contractor鈥檚 Manchester regional director
Former Kier director Garry Bowker has joined Vinci as director for its north-west regional office.
Bowker (pictured), who was Kier鈥檚 regional director with overall responsibility for operations in Manchester, now heads up Vinci鈥檚 business in the region.
He replaces John Roberts who has been promoted to regional managing director for the North-west, North-east and Midlands.
Both moves are part of a wider shake-up of the contractor鈥檚 leadership team across the north of England, following the departure of Roberts鈥� predecessor, Keith Shivers, who retired at the end of last year after nine years with the firm.
Chris Winspear, who was previously a construction director at Vinci, was made the firm鈥檚 new regional director for the North-east at the end of last year.
Bowker will head up a number of Vinci projects across the region including a 拢70m regeneration project in Warrington. The firm has also recently been drafted in to replace Interserve on a 拢150m Manchester cancer centre.
Vinci鈥檚 UK chief executive Bruno Dupety stepped down last summer and the role is continuing to be filled on an interim basis by another Frenchman, Paris-based Jerome Stubler.
Dupety was based at the firm鈥檚 headquarters in Watford and was brought in to the top job after the firm racked up huge losses on a scheme to build a tram network in Nottingham.
