NG Bailey has recruited Peter Jones as MD of its IT Services division, taking over from Bob Dunnett who retires at the end of May.
Jones reports directly to NG Bailey's CEO David Hurcomb and joins from G4S where he was MD of facilities management UK and Ireland. He has also held senior leadership positions at CBRE and Carillion.
Hurcomb said: "Bob has done a great job and we wish him a long and happy retirement. He leaves us with a strong client base and an ever-expanding pipeline of new business opportunities.
"I now look forward to working closely with Peter to continue the development of the division, as well as actively pursuing opportunities to accelerate the growth of all of our services businesses.
"Peter has a well-deserved reputation within the facilities management, construction and commercial property sectors at both a national and international level and has a deep understanding of providing complex services to both the private and public sector.
"This, coupled with a background in engineering services and strong leadership skills, will ensure that we continue to innovate and grow our IT services capabilities."
Jones added: "Developments in Smart Buildings, the Internet of Things and increased digitisation of client businesses are all creating significant demand for our core structured cabling and managed services solutions, both within new build and major refurbishment programmes.
"I am looking forward to leading the IT Services business at such a pivotal time in its development."
