Amey Appoints New Non-Exec

Support services group Amey has appointed Sir Richard Mottram, former permanent secretary in environment and Cabinet Office, as non-executive chairman of the board with immediate effect.

Mottram will be involved in developing the business's central and local government agenda and the company say it expects his experience across sectors such as transport, environment and public services to prove “invaluable” in developing Amey's business strategy and network.

Mel Ewell, chief executive of Amey, said: “Sir Richard will play a key role as we push forward with our strategy for continued growth and in developing our work in the central and local government arena.”

Mottram said: “With its history of growth and strong forward business opportunities, this is an exciting time to be joining Amey. I look forward to working with Amey's leadership team as we realise the business's vision of transforming services to the public.”
