In his new role, he will oversee delivery of major projects including restoration of the Grade 1 listed Manchester Town Hall and the delivery of 1,400 new homes at Perry Barr in Birmingham.

Cadiot’s primary focus will be on securing new business while ensuring that the company maintains its focus on health and safety.

He will report into Simon Gorski, who was named as Lendlease’s new managing director for Construction in Europe earlier this year.

Cadiot joined Lendlease in 1995 as a graduate commercial manager and since then has worked across a number of commercial, retail, residential, broadcast and hospitality projects.

He said: “This new position is a great opportunity for me to play a more active role in the work we are carrying out in the UK’s cities.”
