The new structure comprises five business units including four regional businesses, its maintenance offering, in addition to two newly formed functions.

These functions will focus on operational excellence and closer alignment to clients and markets and offer a unique approach through digitally-enabled, sustainable solutions. 

David McKenzie who joined Kier last year as managing director of London & South East will lead the London, South & Strategic Projects business which will continue to build important healthcare and education projects and increase opportunities with the commercial sector.
