Paul Capener has been appointed as Managing Director.
Since Olivier Garrigue, Chairman & Chief Executive of XEIAD, took control of the business in 2013, Paul has been a major contributor to the ongoing successful growth having recently led the award of several major multi-year framework contracts with key clients such as Network Rail and National Highways. Going forward, Paul will focus on XEIAD’s effectiveness and productivity to deliver on contractual promises made to all customers and to develop new and exciting opportunities for continued growth.
Olivier will remain firmly involved, working closely with Paul and the senior management team, focusing on strategy and corporate development projects. Paul says “I’ve been with XEIAD since the very early days, initially joining in 2004 and whilst progressing through to my most recent role of Commercial Director, I have continued to enjoy my time with the team at XEIAD. As I enter my 25th year in the engineering industry, I’m proud to be leading the organisation alongside Olivier, as we enter a new era, with opportunities for further investment in growth and the launch of our Training Academy in February, it’s an exciting time.”
