Keller UK has announced Jon Hall as its new Major Products Director.

In his new role, Mr Hall's first task will be to assemble a team to start work on the multi-billion HS2 project as Keller is actively supporting various joint ventures during the early contractor involvement period.

With 38 years' in the ground engineering industry, Mr Hall has also worked in spells at Amec and Expanded Piling. He has spent the last seven years working for Keller, first in Australia with Vibropile and then in Singapore with Resource Piling.


Speaking on his new role, Mr Hall said: "This a huge challenge and a great opportunity to build a team to contribute to this massive project.

"I'll be spending my time in the coming weeks getting to find out what the HS2 job really involves. With the scope of the works, it looks likely that all Keller UK companies will be involved at some stage. But HS2 is not only project I'll be looking at. There will be plenty more coming on stream in the coming years."

Jim De Waele, Managing Director of Keller NW Europe, said: "With his enormous experience, Jon is the perfect person to lead us into HS2 and other major projects in the future.

"It's an exciting time for the construction industry and Keller intends to play a full part in it."
