Andrew Davies, former chief executive of Kier, has joined the board of facilities management firm Mitie as a non-executive director.
Mitie has appointed former Kier chief executive Andrew Davies to its board as a non-executive director with immediate effect. Beside taking up his main board position, Davies joins Mitie's nomination, remuneration, and audit and risk committees.
Davies brings extensive senior contracting experience to the facilities management and construction services specialist, having led Kier through a period of significant operational restructuring. His move to Mitie reinforces the board's expertise in large-scale infrastructure management and public sector contracting.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
This corporate board appointment will not alter retail tool costs at trade counters, nor will it change product availability at merchants like Screwfix or Toolstation. However, tradespeople operating within property maintenance, facilities management, and commercial fit-out sub-contracts should note Mitie's continued pull of heavy-weight construction leadership. Non-executive board appointments of this scale often precede strategic reviews of how major contractors procure maintenance work, handle risk management, and manage sub-contractor pricing structures across national building service contracts.
