Skanska UK has launched its second boardroom reshuffle in less than a year as infrastructure and HS2 boss Andrew English leaves the business.

English returned to Skanska in March 2024 to lead the infrastructure division and became an executive vice president in the last reshuffle last December.

He is now leaving to pursue another opportunity.

The infrastructure business will temporarily be led by Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) Adam McDonald before Executive Vice President Terry Muckian takes over in the long term.

Muckian leads the Building operating unit and the phased approach is planned to “minimise disruption for both our customers and employees while a successor is recruited”.

The latest reshuffle sees Dan Williams promoted to Executive Vice President, Building Services, reporting to President & CEO Katy Dowding.

Williams will have full responsibility for Skanska’s Building Services operating unit which includes the Skanska Rashleigh Weatherfoil (SRW) mechanical and electrical engineering business and the company’s facilities management operation.

He has steadily risen through the ranks since joining Skanska from college as a student engineer.

Dowding said: “Dan’s deep knowledge and strong relationships with customers in MEP and facilities management will bring valuable insight to our executive management team.

“He’s passionate about delivering great service and real value. This appointment shows how we nurture talent and support career growth from within the business.”

In addition to her role as UK CFO, Meliha Duymaz will now hold the executive responsibility for Skanska’s work for HS2.

Dowding added: “I wish Andrew the best for the future and thank him for his contribution leading the infrastructure and HS2 operations.”
