J. Murphy & Sons has strengthened its senior team by making two new appointments.
The company has selected Alex Jones as Group Head of BIM and digital construction, while Gary Broadley has been chosen as Group Head of Estimating.
Mr Jones is joining the company having recently worked as national BIM and digital construction manager at Interserve Construction. In addition, he has extensive technical experience from roles at Mabey Bridge Limited, Vico Software Inc and Carillion plc.
Speaking on his appointment, Mr Jones said: "This is an exciting time as our industry shifts from traditional analogue to digital systems to become more efficient, collaborative and analytical.

I am excited to join Murphy and look forward to working with the team and our clients."
As new Group Head of Estimating, Mr Broadley joins from MWH Treatment, where he was head of estimating and procurement, working with existing Murphy clients including Thames Water and United Utilities.
