Former Laing O’Rourke commercial director Callum Tuckett has joined Multiplex.
Tuckett, who spent 24 years at Laing O’Rourke, is understood to have joined Mutliplex as chief operating officer in the last few weeks.
In his new role Tuckett will oversee the Europe, Canada and Middle East regions and will report directly to chief executive Ashley Muldoon and oversee the Europe, Canada and Middle East regions.
Tuckett resigned from his role as commercial director at Laing O’Rourke last March. Prior to this, he had worked as managing director of Laing O’Rourke Construction UK, commercial services director for Europe, and commercial director for Laing O’Rourke’s Middle East and South Asia portfolio of businesses from 2006 to 2009.
He originally came through Laing’s fast-track management training programme and was considered one of the company’s leading lights, with industry speculation being he was a potential future chief executive of the business.
Last week Mutilplex became the third contractor to be selected to build the £1bn mixed-used complex at Nine Elms near Vauxhall for Chinese developer Dalian Wanda Group.
