Lovell raids Galliford Try again for new director

Lovell has poached the manging director of Galliford Try’s south and midlands building division for its development director post.

Mick Laws (pictured) joined Lovell earlier this month after 26 years with Galliford Try, and had been the UK boss of its construction in the south of the UK for the past six years.

He follows former colleague Stuart Gibbons, who left Galliford Try in October last year after eight years to take up the London & Southern managing director post at Lovell.

And last May, the firm nabbed Galliford Try’s divisional finance director Steve Breslin to become its UK finance director.

Earlier this year, Lovell appointed former Laing O’Rourke boss James Duffet to head up its south Wales and south west region.

Ian Jubb, previously just managing director for building in the north and Scotland, has now taken charge of the south and Midlands regions as well.
