Capita hires property and infrastructure boss

Outsourcing giant Capita has appointed Dave Spencer as managing director for its real estate and infrastructure business.

Spencer rejoins Capita from Amey, where he has spent three years running its consulting business.

Prior to this, Spencer spent 13 years at Capita, including three years on the executive board of the property and infrastructure business between 2007 and 2014.

Spencer will take up his new role this June, succeeding Geoff Kneen, who is leaving Capita to become a shareholder in an undisclosed small private equity backed business.

Spencer said: “The new real estate and infrastructure business has a clear purpose and mission - to help our clients create tomorrow’s prosperous and connected places across the United Kingdom.”
