Clarification

Following last week’s report on management changes at Laing O’Rourke, Building is happy to clarify that Nick Down, Laing O’Rourke’s new Middle East lead, left Carillion’s Middle East operation in January 2008 to join Carillion’s senior management team in Canada. After returning to the UK in March 2011 he left the firm at the end of the year.
