Wednesday 11 October 2017

Garenne Construction Group has appointed three new directors to its main Board.

Simon Silbernagl, Managing Director of Camerons, Tom Whitmore, Geomarine Guernsey Managing Director and Chris Bell, Managing Director of Sterling Services and Garenne Natural Stone (UK), will assume board responsibilities in addition to their on-going roles in their respective companies.

Simon Silbernagl has worked for the Group for five years. Prior to joining Camerons, Mr Silbernagl worked for construction consulting companies Mace, JR Knowles and Hill International.

Tom Whitmore has worked for the Garenne Construction for nearly 10 years. Prior to joining Geomarine, he gained experience on various civil engineering projects in consultancy and contracting roles, primarily in the marine, civil and power sectors.

Chris Bell  joined the Group in 2013, bringing with him a wealth of experience in construction site engineering, management and civil engineering in the UK and Middle East.

Andy Hall, Garenne Group Chairman, said: "It is great news that we have been able to make these three strategic appointments from within our group of companies. Simon, Chris and Tom bring exceptional strength and depth from across the group and their experience will be a major boost to our board. Garenne Group started in Guernsey in the 1980s but is now equally active in Jersey and the UK, so it is essential that we strengthen our main board across the three jurisdictions"
