New chairman at Amey

Amey UK Limited has appointed Lord Colin Moynihan as its new Chairman with immediate effect.

Moynihan brings to the infrastructure services and engineering company a wealth of experience in Government and in the energy sector. In addition to his former roles as Energy Minister and Environment Minister, he has also acted as Chairman of the UK Renewable Energy Advisory Group and was the first President of the British Wind Energy Association.

In his role as Chairman, Moynihan will support the board in its focus on Amey supporting the UK’s energy transition efforts as well as the company’s continued development of its ESG programme in support of social value.

He replaces Ian Tyler who has served as Chairman since 2018.

Speaking of his appointment, Moynihan, said: “It is a crucial time to be joining Amey as the company looks to bring its expertise in transport and buildings infrastructure to bear on the UK’s net zero ambitions. I am looking forward to working with the leadership team and offering my support as they realise the future vision for the business.”

Andy Milner, Amey CEO, said: “We are at an important turning point for the business, and Colin’s wealth of experience in both Government and business across numerous sectors will help us realise Amey’s potential. I would also like to thank Ian for his contribution as Chairman since 2018, particularly through the sale and transition.”

The announcement follows the recent acquisition of Amey by One Equity Partners and Buckthorn Partners.
