Chinese contractor BCEGI has announced its UK operations director Gavin Taylor is to leave at the end of 2016 after three years with the firm.

Dongwen Yu, one of the firm’s company directors, will take over his role until a replacement is found.

The firm has made major in roads in the north west over last few years led by Taylor. BCEGI’s largest ongoing project is the £800m Manchester Airport City where BCEGI is a stakeholder and construction partner working alongside Manchester Airports Group, Carillion and the Greater Manchester Pension Fund.

The firm is also working on developer Scarborough’s £700m  Middlewood Locks development and the £200m St Michael’s scheme in Manchester.

Taylor said:  “I have immensely enjoyed the past three years working with the company. It has been a privilege to work with the team and I am sure BCEGI will continue its expansion and success here.”

Yu joined BCEG International Co in 2009 rising from site engineer to project director.

He said:  “Gavin has contributed considerably to BCEGI’s growth in Manchester. We will miss him and wish him every success for his future career.”
