The Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) has unveiled seven new directors to its board following an overhaul in September.
The new board includes four independent non-executive directors: Roma Agrawal, a structural engineer from Interserve; Richard Byrne, a health and safety director at Travis Perkins; Nick Coley, from Fitzgerald Contractors and a successful entrepreneur within civil engineering and contracting; and Simon Harvey, a strategy and marketing director at The Grays Group, but also with a wealth of experience of launching consumer products to younger generations.

They were appointed at an extraordinary general meeting of the CCS in London on 2 November.
Isabel Martinson, appointed to CCS as executive chairman in July 2016, said she was looking to recruit new board directors to take the scheme to the “next level” to further enhance the construction industry’s image and reputation.
She will lead the new statutory board of directors, which also comprises representatives from the Scheme’s owners, Dr Diana Montgomery, chief executive of the Construction Products Association (CPA), Professor John Nolan, chairman of the Construction Industry Council (CIC) and chief executive of CIC, Graham Watts. Mike Petter joins the board as chairman of the new standing Service and Performance Committee.
Isabel Martinson, executive chairman of the CCS, said: “The new directors bring experience and expertise across a wide spectrum of disciplines and industries, as well as a passion for the construction industry and the built environment.
“They are all fully committed to the ethos of the Scheme’s vision to further improve the reputation and image of the industry and to change perceptions held by government, the general public, educators, careers advisors, parents and individuals, including the next generation and career changers.”
Mike Petter, who will oversee the operational management of the scheme and will report in to the statutory board of directors, told CM that the new board of directors was about taking things to a higher level and making the scheme more “forward facing” for the industry.
