Tilbury Douglas CEO To Step Down
Tilbury Douglas has announced that Paul Gandy, current Chief Executive Officer (CEO), will be stepping down with effect from 1 November 2024, as he prepares to take up his new role as the 122nd President of the Chartered Institute of Building, handing over to Craig Tatton, who as the new CEO will lead the Group forwards.
Craig joined the Group in 2017, leading the Regional Building businesses, before taking on wider responsibilities for Fitout, Engineering and Infrastructure and, in 2022, stepping up to the role of Group Chief Operating Officer in preparation for this transition. Craig’s leadership and example have been instrumental in developing the capability and consistent success of the business.
Paul joined the Tilbury Douglas Group as CEO in 2019, initially leading the Group through significant restructuring to reposition and firmly establish the business as a successful standalone 'Tier 1' contractor. Drawing on four decades of industry experience behind him, Paul tightly refocused the Group’s strategy, as well as strengthening governance to create transparency and rigour. Moving forwards, Paul has agreed to continue as a part-time Advisor to the Tilbury Douglas Board.
Paul Gandy said: "It has been a real privilege to have led the turnaround of Tilbury Douglas and have seen the business growing again from a solid foundation. I thank all my colleagues, our board and our shareholders for their hard work and encouragement during that time."
Craig Tatton commented: "Our business is poised ready for its next phase, steadily broadening our portfolio of services for customers, whilst working alongside our suppliers, to enable growth of careers, profits and cash. People matter and I am proud that at Tilbury Douglas we remain committed not only to everyone’s safety and health but to sustainable contributions within the communities we serve."
