Kier, a leading provider of infrastructure and construction
services, announces two new appointments to its executive
committee, effective from 1 May 2021.
Sophie Timms is promoted to the role of Corporate Affairs
Director and will report into Chief Executive, Andrew Davies.
Sophie will have responsibility for Government Relations and
Communications.
Alpna Amar is promoted to the role of Corporate Development
Director, reporting into Chief Financial Officer, Simon Kesterton.
Alpna will be responsible for Group Strategy, M&A and Investor
Relations.
Sophie joined Kier as Group Public Affairs Director in October
2020 to support Kier's engagement with policymakers and industry
bodies. She joined Kier from Zurich Insurance where she was Head of
UK Corporate Affairs with responsibility for government relations,
external communications and sustainability. She also spearheaded
diversity and inclusion initiatives for Zurich and the wider
insurance sector.
Alpna joined Kier as Finance Director of Transformation in
February 2020. Since joining Kier, Alpna has worked with the team
and key stakeholders to strengthen Kier's balance sheet. This
includes a range of capital market projects, the sale of Kier
Living and a proposed equity raise.
Prior to joining Kier, Alpna spent four years as Head of
Investor Relations for TI Fluid Systems, a global automotive
supplier, owned by Bain Capital, which is listed on the London
Stock Exchange. From 2010 to 2016, Alpna served as Vice President
of M&A for IAC Group, an international components supplier
owned by Wilbur Ross.
Andrew Davies, Kier Group CEO, said: "I'm delighted to welcome
Sophie and Alpna to the Executive Committee and know they will
provide additional strength and perspectives to the team as Kier
looks to move into the next phase of its strategy.
"With Kier's role as a strategic supplier to the UK Government,
Sophie's extensive public affairs and communications' experience
will be invaluable in supporting Kier's internal and external
engagement, as well as ensuring we can help our clients to deliver
on their long-term societal aims.
"Similarly, Alpna's wide-ranging Strategy, M&A and Investor
Relations' experience will be critical as Kier looks to build on
its financial and competitive position and deliver its medium-term
financial targets."
Sophie said : "I am delighted to be appointed Corporate Affairs
Director at Kier. Since joining Kier, I have been impressed not
only by the scale of the projects and programmes it delivers,
largely on behalf of the public sector, but also its strong
credentials in delivering long-term social impact in communities. I
am incredibly excited to ensure we keep colleagues and external
stakeholders up-to-date with the progress Kier is making and the
role infrastructure and construction can play in supporting
recovery from Covid-19, rebalancing prosperity and the delivery of
Net Zero goals."
Alpna said: "I'm very proud of Kier's tremendous success in
delivering its strategy over the last two years and I'm excited for
the next stage. The management team is extremely strong and I am
confident that Kier will be well-positioned both financially and
strategically to continue delivering value to shareholders."
