The new office will be headed up by Alex Isted, who was announced last year as the new regional director for the North East.

As part of its expansion in the North East, Morgan Sindall has appointed Darren Wellington as senior pre-construction manager for the region. Darren brings over thirty years of his experience to his role, having previously worked at Laing O'Rourke and VINCI.
