Vicky takes a place on the Environment Board and will identify and lead on growth opportunities and pipeline management, working closely with the Board as the business delivers on its AMP8 frameworks. She will oversee the Preconstruction functions, including Business Development, Bid Management and Estimating and ensure the business continues to build strong client relationships, supporting clients as they develop and implement their AMP9 programmes.

Commenting on the announcement, Mark Shadrick, Divisional Managing Director of Galliford Try’s Environment business said: “We are delighted to welcome Vicky to this new role on our Environment Board. Galliford Try is already a leading player in the water sector, working with all 13 of the UK’s major water and wastewater companies, having carried out a series of acquisitions in adjacent markets over the past five years.
"We have a highly sought-after, growing capability that is vital to the water sector’s future, and in this new role, Vicky will maximise the opportunities Galliford Try can offer clients in the sector, not only through AMP 8 but by helping them realise the full benefits of AMP9 as they plan for the future.”
