Scott Wardrop is to combine two chief executive roles after being offered the role of UK Construction Chief Exeutive at Vinci.

The move will see Mr Wardrop keep his current role of Chief Executive of the company’s Eurovia UK business which he lad led since 2007.

Jean-Philippe Loiseau, who had been acting as chief operating officer of Vinci Construction UK, and split his time between the UK and France, has returned to Paris to concentrate on the firm’s French business.

Mr Wardrop will report to Gilles Godard, who remains CEO of Vinci operations in the UK. Chris Hamer, the managing director of Vinci’s building business, Taylor Woodrow boss Julian Gatward and Tony Raikes, who heads up the firm’s facilities business, will all report into Wardrop.
