Richard Walker will assume overall responsibility for all Dyer & Butler operations and report to M Group Services managing director for transport, Neil Edwards.

Dyer & Butler was acquired by Morrison Utility Services, since renamed M Group, in 2016.

Mr Walker joins Dyer & Butler from Amey, where he has been a business director on the railways side for the past four years. Before that, he was with Network Rail for eight years – he was project manager of the £250m Farringdon Station Thameslink project – having started his career with Costain.
