Lakesmere appoints new Construction Director for South East region

Lakesmere has appointed Anthony Kirkby to the role of Construction Director, as part of the expansion and development of its South East region.

Having enjoyed a successful career as a Construction Manager since joining Lakesmere in 2008, Anthony’s promotion will see him take over responsibility of the day to day operational activities of the South-East team which is based at Lakesmere’s head office in Winchester.

Matt Nicholson, Managing Director of Lakesmere South, comments; “As a valued member of the Lakesmere team, Anthony has made a significant difference and contribution to the success of the region and we are confident that this appointment will allow us to take better advantage of the opportunities that present themselves within the South-East.”

Lakesmere South-East was created in 2006 when, in keeping with Lakesmere's customer-focussed management strategy, it was felt that creating an additional team to support the South region would facilitate the provision of an improved and more targeted service. Since then the South-East team has continued to thrive, working on a number of high-profile contract wins most recently the London Aquatics Centre for which Anthony and his team won the prestigious ‘Product Performance Award’ at the Balfour Beatty London Aquatics Centre Supplier Awards.
