The appointment follows a string of recent acquisitions including the takeover last month of consultant RKD which has an impressive track record in some of London\u2019s most recent high-profile projects.<\/p>\n

John Hall, Chairman of the John F Hunt Group, said: \u201cWe are seeing a growing demand for specialist contractors, not only to advise and engage in the repurposing of existing buildings but to take on far more substantial and complex packages, ranging from demolition up to and including the entire concrete frame and core.<\/p>\n

\n
\"-\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe are growing a highly experienced team to meet that demand and Simon\u2019s depth of knowledge fits perfectly with the Group\u2019s ambitions\u201d.<\/p>\n

Wilkinson confirmed he will continue to support the Claritas Group in a reduced role to further develop their brand in construction management and traditional contracting.<\/p>\n
