Gilmour joins Laing O’Rourke’s specialist MEP business from Doosan Babcock where he held a number of senior roles, most recently as Vice President of its Nuclear and Defence business where he worked on projects including Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C.

Gilmour said: “I am delighted to have joined CHt and to be part of Laing O’Rourke, two companies I have known and admired for many years. I have started to meet some of the CHt team and have been really impressed by their knowledge and passion.

“I am looking forward to getting to know the business and its people and working with them to drive innovation and develop exciting, manufactured products that help
change how the MEP elements of our buildings and vital infrastructure are delivered.”

CHt is part of  Laing O’Rourke’s vertically integrated Specialist Trading Business Group (STBG), which also includes Expanded, Select Plant Hire, Explore Manufacturing, Vetter and GRCUK.

STBG Director Peter Lyons said: “It’s fantastic to have Cameron in post. He has a wealth of engineering and business experience and has also worked on the kind of large energy projects that are a significant component of Laing O’Rourke’s future order book.

“His insights will be crucial to increasing innovation and efficiency within CHt, as market demand continues to grow for the certainty provided by our integrated supply chain.”

Gilmour will work closely with Gavin Body, who was appointed General Manager of operations at CHt in February, to ensure the business remains focused on both the delivery of current live projects – which include Everton Stadium, Future Olympia and projects for the Ministries of Justice and Defence – and securing new work to grow CHt’s order book.
