New arrival spent more than 15 years at country’s biggest private contractor

Wates has brought in Laing O’Rourke’s head of procurement at its Europe business into a new role of operations director for its construction business.

George Mosey spent more than 16 years at O’Rourke with his new post seeing him sit on the Wates construction board.

Jobs he worked on at O’Rourke include Crossrail, now called the Elizabeth line, Thames Tideway and the Crick Institute at King’s Cross.
