Morgan Sindall has appointed Goff Davies as its education ambassador to work from its Cardiff office at Gwaelod-y-Garth.

The 56-year-old from Pontypool is a former head teacher who was directly involved in the design and planning of a brand new school in Newport.

He has been brought into the business to help the Morgan Sindall team develop its education portfolio across South Wales.

"The future of educational provision in Wales is exciting with The Welsh Assembly Government committed to the 21 Century Schools Programme, making all primary and secondary 'fit for purpose' for the future," said Mr Davies. "This means Morgan Sindall has an excellent opportunity to work on some of these schemes and I'm here to ensure they can offer the best possible solutions for the staff and students who will be benefiting from these fantastic new buildings."

Every local authority in Wales has been asked to submit their transformation plans to the Welsh Assembly Government, outlining how they are going to deal with surplus places in their areas. This programme has forced local education authorities to revisit their education provision. The schools are also required to provide community facilities.
