Cain, who began his journey with Hill as a site manager 17 years ago rising to regional director in 2015, will be tasked with further growing the business which and has become a major pillar of Hill’s recent success.

He will now manage a team of over 100 staff and a division with a projected turnover of £300m for the current financial year.

Andy Hill, chief executive of The Hill Group, said: “Cain has demonstrated exceptional loyalty and a commitment to continuous improvement during his time at Hill.

“This latest promotion is both a well-deserved progression for Cain, reaffirming the confidence I have in his lead and develop further our Special Projects team to remain the ‘partner of choice’ on large joint venture projects with key partners across London and the South East.”

Peters said: “I look forward to leading the Special Projects division and contributing to the company’s future achievements and planned period of growth.”

Hill is set to announce its financial results for its previous financial year, ending March 2024, and is currently planning for the next phase of its business strategy, in which the Special Projects region will play a key role.
