HENRY BOOT PLC
('Henry Boot' or 'the Group')
Henry Boot announces changes to its Senior Management Team and
Executive Committee
Henry Boot announces that Simon Carr of Henry Boot Construction
(HBC) and Giles Boot of Banner Plant (BP) will be retiring from
their roles as Managing Director (MD) on the 30 June 2021,
following long and successful careers with the Group.
In their current roles, Simon delivered over a billion pounds of
construction activity and increased statutory profit tenfold, with
Giles repositioning BP client base and order book from an internal
hire supplier to a business generating 94% of its turnover from the
open market. Henry Boot thank them for both their hard work and
significant contribution to the Group and wish them well in their
well-deserved retirement.
After undertaking a thorough recruitment process for both roles,
including internal and external candidates, the Group is delighted
to announce that Tony Shaw - current Director of Henry Boot
Construction will be promoted to the position of Managing Director
and Jonathan Fisher will join the Group as the new Managing
Director of Banner Plant. Both will become members of the Group's
Executive Committee.
Tony joined HBC as an apprentice in 1985, before working his way
up to his current position as Director. As part of the succession
planning, Tony has had increasing day to day responsibility for the
senior leadership team at HBC and has led the recent refresh of
HBC's strategy. Tony will continue to lead on the evolution and
development of a more focused, progressive strategy for HBC .
Jonathan joins the Group as the new MD of BP from Elliot, part
of the Modulaire Group Company. Jonathan has extensive industry
experience from his previous position as the UK Sales Director and
will be tasked to continue leading on progressing the
digitalisation of BP sales systems and growing its strong position
within plant hire.
Simon and Giles are working to ensure there is a smooth
transitional period before Tony and Jonathan take up their roles on
1 July 2021. Henry Boot is pleased to welcome Jonathan to the Group
and wishes them both every success in their new roles.
Tim Roberts, CEO of Henry Boot PLC, said:
"In my relatively short time at Henry Boot, it has been a real
pleasure working with Simon and Giles. Their contribution, over a
long period of time, has been very significant. Aptly, we have a
good mix of home grown, and fresh talent for these two important
positions. I look forward to working with Tony and Jonathan as they
take up their new roles."
Simon Carr, Managing Director of Henry Boot Construction,
said:
"It has been an honour to lead Henry Boot Construction as
Managing Director, a culmination of a career spanning 33 years with
the Company, where I have overseen both considerable growth and
industry leading profit margins.
I also wish to place on record my thanks to all at Henry Boot
for their immense talent, hard work, support and friendship, and am
confident that, under the stewardship of Tony Shaw, the business
will continue to go from strength to strength."
Giles Boot, Managing Director of Banner Plant said :
'I'm proud of the evolution and growth I've overseen at Banner
Plant, as we've transitioned from an internal supply company to a
commercially successful Plant Hire business.
As I leave the Company in great shape to face future challenges,
my thanks and respect go to all the loyal members of my team who
have contributed so much over the years.'
