CLC Appoints Andy Mitchell As Co-Chair

The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) has appointed Tideway Chief Executive Andy Mitchell to replace Andrew Wolstenholme as co-chair.

Mr Mitchell was previously programme director and a board member at Crossrail and has a wealth of experience both from projects in the United Kingdom and overseas.

After 12 years working in the United Arab Emirates, France and South Africa, as well as on major developments such as Hong Kong Airport and the Hong Kong West Rail, he joined Network Rail in 2001. He was project director for Network Rail's Southern Power Upgrade project, and was also the major programme director of the Thameslink Programme.


"I was honoured to be approached for the role as CLC co-chair at what is an exciting and challenging time for both the council and the sector as a whole," he said. "Securing a sector deal was a huge achievement, and I look forward to building on the strong foundations laid by Andrew and the team as we move into implementation."
