| New Skanska UK president named Swedish construction firm Skanska announced that Mats Williamson has been appointed new President of Skanska UK. He assumes his position immediately and succeeds David Fison, who has decided to leave Skanska after ten years. Mats Williamson joined Skanska in 1981. He has held several positions including the roles as Project Executive of the Öresund bridge between Denmark and Sweden, President of Skanska International Projects and, since 2002, he has been the President of Skanska Sweden. During May and June of this year Skanska conducted a review of Skanska UK’s construction projects in the PPP (Public Private Partnership) sector. The review resulted in further project write downs in Skanska UK and also shows that Skanska UK needs to improve some internal processes and procedures relating to PPP projects. The recruitment process for a new President of Skanska Sweden has been initiated. Petter Eiken, Executive Vice President of Skanska AB, will serve as President of Skanska Sweden until a successor is appointed. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
