The Construction Industry Board has appointed Tony Merricks as its

Merricks has worked in the construction industry since 1960,

In 1981 he joined Balfour Beatty and nine years later was appointed
to the board of Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering as general manager
of the specialist holdings division.
Merricks is currently chairman of the Construction Research and
Innovation Strategy Panel.
Merricks, whose appointment runs for two years, commented: "I am
pleased to have this opportunity through the CIB of helping put the
Latham Report into action because it's important that it's not all
fine words. I will be leading the activities on registration,
training and education and research and development."
