Simon Carr of Henry Boot Construction and Giles Boot of Banner Plant will be retiring from their roles as managing director on 30 June 2021
Tony Shaw the current director of Henry Boot will be promoted to the position of managing director.
While, Jonathan Fisher, UK sales director at Elliot will join Boot as the new managing director of Banner Plant.
Both will become members of the group’s executive committee.
Simon Carr delivered over a billion pounds of construction activity and increased statutory profit tenfold, with Giles Boot repositioning Banner Plant client base and order book from an internal hire supplier to a business generating 94% of its turnover from the open market.
Tony Shaw
Shaw joined HBC as an apprentice in 1985, before working his way up to his current position as director. As part of the succession planning, he has had an increasing day to day responsibility for the senior leadership team at Henry Boot and has led the recent refresh of HBC’s strategy.
Shaw will continue to lead on the evolution and development of a more focused, progressive strategy for HBC.
Jonathan Fisher
Fisher joins the group as the new managing director of Banner Plant from Elliot, part of the Modulaire Group Company.
He has extensive industry experience from his previous position as the UK sales director and will be tasked to continue leading on progressing the digitalisation of Banner Plant sales systems and growing its strong position within plant hire.
Tim Roberts, CEO of Henry Boot PLC, said: “In my relatively short time at Henry Boot, it has been a real pleasure working with Simon and Giles.
“Their contribution, over a long period of time, has been very significant.
“Aptly, we have a good mix of homegrown, and fresh talent for these two important positions. I look forward to working with Tony and Jonathan as they take up their new roles.”
Simon Carr and Giles Boot are working to ensure there is a smooth transitional period before Shaw and Fisher take up their new roles on 1 July.
