Balfour Beatty has appointed Jo Gilroy as UK Director of Sustainability.

Jo will be responsible for supporting and guiding the business in driving forward Balfour Beatty's sustainability strategy across the UK, as well as reporting the Group’s performance against the bold targets and ambitions set out in its 'Building New Futures' sustainability strategy.

She joins Balfour Beatty from Kier where she held the position of Group Head of Sustainability & Environment. Prior to Kier, she was Head of Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility at the FTSE 100 distribution and logistics group – Bunzl.


Leo Quinn, Balfour Beatty Group Chief Executive, said: "I am delighted to welcome Jo as UK Director of Sustainability. Her significant skills and experience will help ensure that we remain at the forefront of the vital net zero transition for our industry.

"Whilst sustainability has long been at the heart of what we do, we must not rest on our laurels. We must continue to invest in and drive forward the sustainable solutions that will enable us to deliver the infrastructure required for a Net Zero industry. I am confident that in her role, Jo will help us do just that."
