Kier has promoted Rebecca Boundy to managing director of Clients and Markets in its Construction business, bolstering the senior leadership team.

The move comes as the firm looks to strengthen its position across key sectors including education, healthcare, defence and justice following major project wins this year.

Boundy, who joined Kier in 2015, was previously public sector director.

She led preconstruction on HMP Five Wells and oversaw three Alliances for the Ministry of Justice during her time as justice sector director.

She will now head up Kier Construction’s expert team of sector directors and strategic bid team, helping drive future growth and client delivery.

Her promotion follows a string of recent wins for Kier including the £684m HMP Glasgow scheme, a £123m teaching and learning facility at the University of Southampton, and a spot on Pagabo’s £814m Facilities Management framework.
