Former Pettifer Construction managing director will run Stradform and Weaver
Former Pettifer Construction managing director Chris Pape has joined Vinci to run two of its regional contracting operations, Ðǿմ«Ã½ understands.
According to sources close to the situation, Pape will be managing director at Vinci subsidiaries Stradform and Weaver.
It is understood Pettifer commercial director Mark Savage will move with him.
A source said: “Given his background, Vinci is pretty pleased they landed him.â€
Pape may play a key role in targeting further acquisitions for Vinci, which bought Taylor Woodrow Construction for £74m last September.
Pape joined Pettifer in October 2007 from Carillion, where he was managing director of its regional building division.
Warwickshire-based Pettifer went into administration in November after RBS pulled the plug on the £50m-turnover group.
