Balfour Beatty VINCI has appointed a managing director for its High Speed 2 (HS2) project.
Peter Anderson will lead the joint venture between Balfour Beatty and VINCI, having worked for Balfour Beatty since 1990.
Peter said: “I am delighted to lead Balfour Beatty VINCI’s High Speed 2 joint venture with an immediate focus on our bid for the preparatory works.
“This iconic rail infrastructure project will create significant opportunities for the UK construction industry helping to boost and re-balance the economy including creating thousands of jobs, apprenticeships and opportunities for supply chain partners.
“HS2 will also free up capacity on the existing network as well as dramatically improving journeys between London, the West Midlands and further north.”
In December last year, the joint venture was shortlisted as a contractor to win a share of HS2‘s £900m preparation works.
Peter has held a number senior positions at Balfour Beatty including three years as project director for the Folkestone section of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link.
