Tim Laurence (Vice Admiral Tim Laurence CB, MVO, ADC) has
joined the board of Capita Symonds as a Non Executive
Director.
Tim (right) brings skills and experience
developed during a distinguished naval career. His early career was
largely operational, including four warship commands.
He has been involved in all defence reforms
since the 1990s. Latterly his roles as a key strategist and
resource planner within the MOD culminated in his appointment as
Chief Executive of Defence Estates, where he oversaw the three year
change programme which led to the formation of the Defence
Infrastructure Organisation.
Tim’s interests in property, regeneration,
defence, security and transport make his a natural appointment for
Capita Symonds. As custodian for over 700 listed buildings, 1,200
scheduled monuments and 170 SSSIs, he has developed a particular
interest in sustainability and regeneration.
I look forward to contributing to the Board’s strategic debates and to helping the company support the Government’s efficiency programme
Tim said: “I am delighted to be joining the
board of Capita Symonds at such a challenging but interesting time
for the company. I have been very impressed with the company’s
ideas, their ambitions and their approach to solving complex
problems. I look forward to contributing to the Board’s strategic
debates and to helping the company support the Government’s
efficiency programme.”
Jonathan Goring, Managing Director of Capita
Symonds, added “Tim has already supported and advised upon our
response to the Government’s efficiency programme. I am delighted
that we will be working together to ensure Capita
Symonds supports the UK Government in the most appropriate
way, as well as providing guidance and challenge to our Executive
Board.”
