Movers and Shakers – The Headlines from December

Another year over, and what a year it has been!

While the world insisted that we should try turning 2016 off and on again, it hasn’t all been bad news, Brexit and celebrity deaths.

For the transport and infrastructure sectors we have seen some major progress. Heathrow airport finally received the government’s backing to build a third runway, Hinkley Point C was given the green light and contracts for the enabling works on the first phase of High Speed 2 have been awarded. This is all amongst countless other projects taking shape across the country.

 

As we all get back to work after too many mince pies, let’s take a look at the movers and shakers from December:-

Are you ready for 2017?

Now that the New Year is upon us, many of our clients are asking to meet us to discuss resourcing plans for key hires in 2017. As you can see, not many people took on new positions last month, we expect this will all change in January.

Since taking over as the CEO of Crossrail I have put a lot of effort into establishing the right leadership team to complete the project. Newsom Consulting have been a great partner in this work. Together we have worked to assemble a great new team  with the right energy and capability for one of the worlds most complex projects.

Jim and team are a real pleasure to work with; responsive and sensitive to our unique circumstances.

Over the last few years CAF Rolling Stock UK has worked closely with Jim and Richard of Newsom Consulting to recruit several leadership roles across the business. We have found Newsom to be effective in providing high calibre candidates. We would recommend Newsom for recruiting key leadership roles.

Heathrow have partnered with Newsom Consulting to recruit several key leadership roles for our Expansion team. On each search they have been successful in providing an excellent shortlist from which we have appointed a high-calibre candidate. Jim has worked with Heathrow for a number of years and has developed a good understanding of our business, and we have recently appointed Newsom Consulting as an executive search partner for the Expansion programme.
