Steve Foster has joined Caddick Construction in the newly created role of head of frameworks, based in Wakefield.
Creation of the role marks a strategic move for Caddick, the company said, as it looks to balance its private and public sector portfolio by getting on more procurement frameworks.
Foster joins Caddick having held a number of project management, delivery and framework lead positions, specialising in education projects across secondary, further and higher education. Over the past 10 years he has worked for Morris & Spottiswood, Bowmer & Kirkland, ISG, Engie, Henry Boot Construction and Galliford Try. He also brings client-side experience to the role having held the position of project manager for the Department for Education, overseeing projects under the school rebuilding programme for most of 2021 and 2022.
He joined the construction industry in 2012 following 23 years of army service.
Of his new job, Foster said: “Caddick is in a time of change; its growth is steady, strategic and organic. The journey the business is on makes this a very exciting opportunity for me. The people here, and the business’ culture, make Caddick dynamic and forward thinking, but it’s also a business that prioritises quality over everything and always looks to add value. As someone who has worked so extensively with and for the public sector, I appreciate and share in those values, and look forward to playing my part in the continued success of Caddick Construction.”
Caddick Construction group business development director Helen Drennan added: “Over the past three years we have increased our presence across a number of leading, strategically selected procurement frameworks in a move to balance our portfolio of public and private sector projects. Steve’s appointment is a key milestone in our growth, and will see us steadily expand our framework presence to bring quality, efficiency and extensive social value to much-needed housing, healthcare and education investments.”
