He will hand over to Craig Tatton as the new Tilbury Douglas CEO.

Tatton joined the company in 2017 from Bouygues, leading the Regional Building businesses before taking on wider responsibilities for Fitout, Engineering and Infrastructure and, in 2022, stepping up to the role of Group Chief Operating Officer in preparation for this transition.

Gandy joined the Tilbury Douglas from Kier as CEO in 2019, initially leading the Group through significant restructuring. He has agreed to continue as a part-time advisor to the Tilbury Douglas Board.

Gandy said: “It has been a real privilege to have led the turnaround of Tilbury Douglas and have seen the business growing again from a solid foundation. I thank all my colleagues, our board and our shareholders for their hard work and encouragement during that time.”

Tatton added: “Our business is poised ready for its next phase, steadily broadening our portfolio of services for customers, whilst working alongside our suppliers, to enable growth of careers, profits and cash. People matter and I am proud that at Tilbury Douglas we remain committed not only to everyone’s safety and health but to sustainable contributions within the communities we serve.”

Nicholas Pollard, Chair, Tilbury Douglas Group, said: “I am delighted that the strength and depth built in our executive team has enabled this smooth transition. Industry knowledge, understanding of people and passion for construction combine to provide consistent direction and credible leadership throughout our company.

“Paul’s new role as the Chartered Institute of Building President will enable him to lead on a broader platform to the benefit of our industry sector and national infrastructure, whilst as CEO, Craig and his colleagues will continue leading Tilbury Douglas from strength-to-strength. Working together with Craig and the Board, I look forward to a bright future.”
