Last month, the fit-out firm announced that CEO Steve Elliott would be leaving the company, to be replaced by Anthony Brown, previously chief marketing officer.

The £350m business has now announced it is introducing a new organisational structure, appointing Peter Nagle as its new chief operating officer.

Nagle has spent 21 years at the company. In his new role, he will be responsible for project delivery, operational performance, resourcing, quality and business processes.

Meanwhile, Paul Kavanagh has been appointed managing director, working alongside Kevin P’ng in the same role. Kavanagh has been with BW since 2010.

Rachel Tabone has been appointed people director after four years leading its HR strategy, leadership development and company culture, while Helen Mulligan Lowe has been appointed sales director. She has been with the firm for nine years. 

Last year, BW completed a move to an Employee Ownership Trust.
