Mr Colin Whitfield has been promoted to Group Commercial Director of Bouygues UK.

Bouygues UK has a predicted turnover in excess of £800m this year, an increase of around £100m compared to the year before. He will be responsible for strengthening and consolidating the commercial management function across the entire group.


He will also lead on the development of Bouygues UK's 230-strong team of quantity surveyors and identify ways to further improve the group's financial performance.

Bouygues UK's Strategy and Finance Director, Philippe Jouy, said: "The industry continues to express frustrations over the chronic shortage of quantity surveyors – this senior role reflects the importance of the surveying function within the Bouygues UK group and highlights the career development opportunities available to people who have a background in surveying and aspirations for a career in commercial management."
