Mr Plant has been tasked with developing the consistency and effectiveness of Buckingham Group’s commercial systems.
Buckingham Group’s order book is currently at an all-time high and includes a pair of contracts won during the past six months, one in Fulham and one in Swansea, that are each worth more than £100m.
