Sitting on the Wates Construction board, Mosey will work alongside the senior team to drive forward Wates’ continued focus on safety, quality, sustainability and operational performance.

Mosey spent more than 16 years at Laing O’Rourke in several senior positions, most recently as Head of Procurement across Europe.

During that time he worked on major projects like Thames Tideway, Crossrail’s Custom House scheme and the Cheesegrater building in the Square Mile.

His new role will blend his previous experience across health and safety, procurement and project delivery to bring rounded leadership to Wates’ operational teams.

Steff Battle, executive managing director at Wates Construction, said: “With extensive experience in upholding the highest delivery standards, George will play a pivotal role in setting the benchmark for operational excellence across our projects.

“His position on the Construction Board is reflective of Wates’ longstanding commitment to sustainability, quality and health and safety.”
