Andrew commented: "Having spent 23 years of my career with Caddick Construction, my decision to step back from my role as Executive Chairman has been made possible by the incredible team I leave behind. Caddick Construction ended 2022 on a strong note with exceptional quality, a healthy pipeline of projects and continually growing capabilities. I am very proud of what has been achieved in my time at the business, and I know that I am leaving it in the very capable hands of our new Construction Group Managing Director, Paul."
