Clancy chief executive Matt Cannon said: “Bryan and Martin have played integral roles in the recent successes and stable, continued growth we’ve seen at Clancy – building on our long-standing relationships with existing clients, as well as creating new partnerships. The experience and commitment to skills development that both bring to our executive board will be incredibly valuable as we continue to share best practice across our business to support clients in delivering on the UK’s infrastructure needs.
“We are also delighted to welcome Jon to our Clancy family. There is huge demand for our energy expertise as the sector works toward decarbonising our grid and supporting the government’s ambition of making Britain a clean energy superpower. Jon’s track record in delivering major infrastructure projects will be a real asset to our teams as we help our clients to tackle challenges around efficiency, capacity and costs.”
