This new role reflects the desire of the board to develop and progress the TWf and achieve greater awareness and engagement with the wider industry.

TWf has established an extensive knowledge base, with over 230 members covering more than 30 different specialisms and disciplines, all of which fall within the temporary works remit.
Rob Millard, TWf Chair and MD of DE Construction Solutions, said: “Robin’s most recent experience as Managing Director of the NASC provides a great foundation to use his knowledge and skills in support of the TWf.”
