With a background that spans both client-side advisory and multidisciplinary consultancy environments, John has led high-performing teams on major programmes nationwide. His expertise in stakeholder engagement, bid strategy, and market positioning will be pivotal as both firms continue to respond to evolving client demands and regulatory frameworks, especially within the realms of building safety and sustainable delivery.
John Reyers added:
“Joining Naismiths and Edmond Shipway presents an exciting opportunity to work with two highly respected brands that share a progressive and people-first culture. I look forward to building on the impressive legacy of delivery and helping shape a forward-thinking, integrated offer for our clients across the UK.”
The appointment comes at a time of increased investment in innovation and digitalisation across both brands, including enhanced risk and cost intelligence services, and modern methods of construction (MMC) consultancy.
