Kier Group has appointed Mike Sewell to develop a new energy management and services offering as part of its £120m facilities management (FM) business.

Mike joins Kier as head of energy with a wealth of experience, having spent more than 20 years in the sector including with global energy services provider Dalkia and strategic outsourcing business Mitie, where he led the development of its CarbonCare proposition.

Building on Kier's credentials in the construction and services industries, Mike is developing an end-to-end integrated energy proposition, which will not only add value to the existing FM service, but will complement and enhance the wider Kier Group offering to clients, helping them make sense of their energy needs.

Kier Managing Director of the FM business, Bill Taylor, said: "Mike's appointment is an important step in developing the services we offer. We see energy management as a key area of commercial growth and Mike brings a wealth of experience that will directly support some ambitious targets in this area."
