UK-based Mouchel Group Plc has boosted its presence in the Middle East region, as the infrastructure and business services firm seeks to grow its business in the region.
Mouchel has appointed Joe Burns as interim managing director and Tim Askew in a non-executive capacity for its Middle East business. With more than 30 years’ experience in the infrastructure sector, Burns will oversee the completion of the restructure and refocus of the company’s business in the Middle East. Tim Askew was the managing director of Atkins’ Middle East business for more than 10 years.
“Joe’s inclusive leadership style and strategic business planning experience is instrumental to growing the Middle Eastern arm of our business, while Tim’s experience will enable him to provide valuable advice that will help to facilitate change and the delivery of our growth agenda,” said Mouchel Infrastructure Services managing director Phil Atkinson.
