Steve will also play a major role in the company’s commitment to creating innovative solutions to help to meet the challenges of climate change, a population growth and sustainable urbanisation.

The Loughborough-based division has played a key role in projects such as tennis mecca Wimbledon’s new £7m facelift, the £150m Royal Hospital for Children and Young People in Edinburgh, and a £5.7m social housing development in Yorkshire over the last 12 months. It has also developed the UK’s first passive Green Infrastructure system capable of creating and sustaining green spaces in almost any environment, including densely populated cities.

Polypipe Group chief operating officer, Glen Sabin, said Steve’s vast sector experience and expertise would enable the civils division to “further strengthen its market position as the go-to water management systems specialist.”

“Steve brings with him a wealth of senior management and directorial experience,” he said. “His entire career has been centered around water management, and the building and construction industries.

“I am confident that the team, complemented by Steve’s experience and leadership, is capable of continuing the development and growth of the civils business in both the core infrastructure and water management solutions market.”
