Anstey brings 30 years of construction experience, including nearly two decades at Mace, to the London-based employee-owned contractor.
He will work closely with managing director Kevin P’ng to strengthen resourcing, financial management and the links between pre-construction and delivery as BW drives its next phase of growth.
His arrival heads a trio of senior appointments, coming two months after a boardroom reshuffle under new chief executive Anthony Brown.
BW has also recruited Harsha Javvaji as project director and Billy Roden as health and safety director.
Javvaji brings 18 years of experience delivering projects in Australia and the UK. He will work with managing director Paul Kavanagh to help win work and lead schemes from pre-construction through to completion.
Roden joins with 25 years of experience, including time at Skanska. Working alongside chief operating officer Peter Nagle, he will lead health and safety, with a focus on accountability, safety by design and workforce wellbeing.
The recruitment drive follows Brown’s promotion from chief marketing officer to chief executive at the end of July, succeeding Steve Elliott after 12 years at the helm.
BW subsequently promoted Nagle to chief operating officer and Kavanagh to managing director alongside P’ng.
The strengthened team will support expansion across BW’s commercial workplace, higher education, legal, finance, technology and public sector markets.
