Willmott Dixon Interiors expands its board and senior leadership team as part of a new operational structure to support the company’s further growth
As Willmott Dixon Interiors expands, it has appointed Chris Linfoot and Simon Wilson to join its board in new operational director positions.
The new appointment will not only bolster the contractor’s operational capability but also help to achieve Willmott Dixon’s ‘customer first’ approach – which focuses on trust building in order to unlock long-term opportunities.
One of the new appointments’ is going to Chris Linfoot, who last year won a CIOB Construction Manager of the Year gold medal for his role refurbishing 250,000 sq ft of commercial office space at Grade II listed Old Admiralty Building on Horse Guards Parade. Linfoot has established himself at the company due to his successful track record for operational delivery at Willmott Dixon Interiors on a series of interior construction contracts.
Simon Wilson will be joining Linfoot. Wilson too has great construction expertise, with more than twenty years of experience in the sector. Most recently, he gained significant knowledge and experience at Willmott Dixon Construction where he was a senior operations manager. He has worked on the Nitrate Film Store at the Imperial War Museum, the building of St Michael’s Hospital in Braintree, and restoration of the East Wing at Alexandra Palace.
As Willmott Dixon Interiors expands, it aims to drive new growth and increased operational structure
The new positions support Willmott Dixon Interiors’ plans to further strengthen its board during the next 18 months. Not only will this further company growth but it will also expand operational structure.
Other new appointments include Ivan Fluin and Nick Kent to senior operations managers. Previously, they were from Balfour Beatty and Graham Group respectively. Rob Brown has also been promoted to the same position from within the company. Nick Anderson and Danny Malone have been put in senior commercial manager positions.
As Willmott Dixon Interiors expands, it creates additional capacity for Willmott Dixon to expand its pipeline of fit-out and refurbishment contracts for public and private sector customers.
