The Caddick Group has appointed a new Chief Information Officer.

Simon Coulson has been appointed to the new role that signals a step-change in operational systems as the Group continues to expand across Yorkshire, the North East, North West and the Midlands.

Simon's position will see him design and oversee information and computing across both Caddick Construction Group and Caddick Developments, ensuring that systems are smooth, operationally effective and future-proofed for growth.

The new role is the latest in a line of senior appointments for Caddick to ensure its sustainable growth is managed meticulously in terms of IT systems, sustainability, commercial performance and supply chain management.


Simon joins Caddick after 20 years as an IT consultant working on a number of high-profile projects for the construction and financial sectors. His remit will see Simon scrutinise IT and CRM systems to ensure they perform in-line with business and client needs.

Simon commented: "As a business grows, it evolves. To make sure this change is smooth, all IT systems need to adapt with expansion. At the same time, systems need to be forward-looking and joined up; in the case of Caddick, the Group operates across multiple regions with Caddick Construction also delivering some of Caddick Developments' project pipeline. Ensuring teams in different locations and different disciplines have a consistent experience with a highly functional IT system is fundamental to their success."
