Peter Mumford has joined Balfour Beatty from National Highways where he was executive director of major projects and capital portfolio management for the past five years.
His previous career has been spent with construction consultants, starting with 10 years at Turner & Townsend before moving to EC Harris, then Aecom and then claims consultant HKA as a vice president.
At Balfour Beatty he is expected to provide strategic leadership for regional civil engineering projects across England and Wales. He takes over from Thomas Edgcumbe, who left Balfour Beatty in April to join Aggegrate Industries as managing director of its Surfacing Solutions unit, with overall responsibility for the Asphalt and Contracting divisions.
