Wates Northern construction chief Paul Dodsworth is to jump to Caddick Construction to become group managing director.

Dodsworth joins Caddick Construction after over seven years at Wates where he was managing director for Construction & Residential across the northern region.

He said: “I am proud and humbled to be asked to take this position with Caddick Construction. A financially strong business, with a solid reputation for delivery.”

“The aspirations of the business to expand its geographical footprint, whilst further developing the existing regions, is a challenge I will embrace and drive. I am looking forward to joining on the 1st August 2022.”

Caddick Construction is planning to expand its regions of operation and increase its activity in the residential sector. It will also support the growth of Casa by Moda by delivering the construction of Moda Living’s single family home brand, alongside other key projects across Yorkshire, North East and North West.

Andrew Murray, executive chairman of Caddick Construction, said: “We are delighted that Paul is stepping into this exciting role to lead all of our construction businesses, his hands on approach will strengthen the business and we all look forward to working with him.

“Paul replaces Adrian Dobson who has retired after almost 23 years on the board. Adrian held the Managing Director position from 2019, he has been a key member of our board helping to guide the strong growth of the company to become one of the leading and largest independent contractors in the north of England.

“He will be sadly missed but we wish him well in his retirement and thank him for his massive contribution since joining us in 1999.”

Meanwhile, Wates Construction has announced that Dave Saville will be promoted to succeed Dodsworth as regional managing director for the North.
