Amey UK has appointed a new Chairman.

Lord Colin Moynihan will take on the role effective immediately. He brings with him a wealth of experience in Government and in the energy sector. In addition to his former roles as Energy Minister and Environment Minister, Colin has also acted as Chairman of the UK Renewable Energy Advisory Group and was the first President of the British Wind Energy Association.


Colin will support the board in their focus on Amey supporting the UK's energy transition efforts as well as the company’s continued development of its ESG programme in support of social value. He replaces Ian Tyler who has served as Chairman since 2018.

The announcement follows the recent acquisition of Amey by One Equity Partners and Buckthorn Partners.

Colin said: "It is a crucial time to be joining Amey as the company looks to bring its expertise in transport and buildings infrastructure to bear on the UK's net zero ambitions. I am looking forward to working with the leadership team and offering my support as they realise the future vision for the business."
