Experienced HR leader Kyla Farmer has joined Keltbray Group as the new HR Director.

Keltbray is a specialist business that offers engineering, construction, demolition, decommissioning, remediation, rail, power transmission & distribution, reinforced concrete structures and environmental services.

Ms Farmer previously worked in senior HR roles within two large multi-site businesses, Compass Group and TUI Travel.

She will be based at Keltbray's head office in Esher, leading a HR team of 10 and working closely with the business' best in class Training and HSQE departments.


John Keehan, Deputy CEO, of Keltbray, said: "Keltbray now has 1,800 PAYE employees, based across the UK, supplemented by temporary labour provision, all working to provide specialist services in highly regulated environments. It's vital to the continued success of our business that every member of our team is working to the best of their abilities and with Kyla joining us to take on this responsibility, the Board and I are excited about the initiatives she'll be putting in place."

Kyla Farmer added: "I am really excited about joining Keltbray. Not only is the business very successful and continuing to grow, but I was instantly attracted to the entrepreneurial culture, the talented people and the opportunity to make a difference. Whilst I am new to the construction industry I have really enjoyed what I have learned so far, and I cannot wait to find out more. I am looking forward to working with my new HR team and helping the business continue to go from strength to strength."
