LONDON (Alliance News) - Balfour Beatty PLC on Tuesday said it has recruited Phil Harrison from corporate services company Hogg Robinson Group PLC to take up the role of finance director.
Harrison will take up the position and join the board of the FTSE 250-listed support services and construction company later in the year, Balfour said, without providing a specific date. Hogg said Harrison will remain in the role at least until its full-year results are announced in May 2015.
Prior to working for Hogg, Harrison was the finance director at VT Group PLC, the government support services organisation, and is the former vice-president of finance for the Europe, Middle East and Africa region at Hewlett-Packard.
"We are delighted to have found and attracted a candidate of Philip's experience and calibre and he will be joining a leadership team committed to restoring Balfour Beatty to strength," said Balfour Chief Executive Leo Quinn.
Hogg said it has started the process of trying to identify a successor to Harrison.
Balfour Beatty also said its search for a new chairman "is progressing well and an announcement will be made in due course".
