CONSTRUCTION services supplier Groundforce has appointed James Burchell as global major projects director.
James joined the firm as a yard labourer/driver almost 30 years ago. He progressed to an operational role as project manager and then commercial manager, responsible for driving better customer service on projects such as the award-winning Red Line Metro system in Qatar.
Nine years ago, he transitioned to Groundforce division Piletec, serving as general sales manager, operations director, and subsequently piling director.
In his new role, James is tasked with unifying the major projects business worldwide.
He said, “My vision is clear – to grow the business, embrace complexity and drive innovation, ensuring that Groundforce remains the industry’s preferred partner for excavation support solutions at home and abroad. By pushing boundaries and setting new standards, we will further strengthen Groundforce’s position as the go-to partner for complex major projects globally.”
