Former Balfour Beatty Regional MD Joins Seddon

The former Balfour Beatty Regional Managing Director (MD) for the Midlands has joined Seddon.

Steve Davies has joined Seddon as its Commercial Director and will be responsible for the company's commercial contracts across the Midlands region.

Mr Davies previously worked for Balfour Beatty for 14 years and has 40 years of experience in the construction sector.

He worked his way up to MD of Mansell, eventually working as Balfour Beatty's Regional MD.

On his appointment, Mr Davies said: "I am delighted to have found a home at Seddon. The company has a great reputation and even though it is a national construction firm, Seddon has committed further resources to the Midlands, most recently when it purchased an office in Birmingham.

"Seddon is dedicated to creating a lasting legacy in the region with its training and development initiatives – something that is very close to my heart.

"As part of my role I want to increase the number of Seddon’s framework appointments in the Midlands, building long-lasting relationships with companies across the region.

"I have no doubt that Seddon can fill the void left by regional contractors that have been absorbed by bigger firms, building on its family heritage and credentials for delivering high-quality projects on time and on budget."

MD of Seddon, Jonathan Seddon, said: "It is an exciting time for Seddon, we reinforced our roots in Birmingham with the purchase of these new offices and anticipate that natural growth could see us increase our turnover in the region to £100 million in the next five years.

"Steve’s appointment is an integral part of this plan and I am delighted to have attracted someone of his calibre to the team."

Mr Davies will be based in Seddon's Birmingham office.
