Mike, who was responsible for the construction and handover of the Olympic Village retrofit to the legacy owners following the successful 2012 games, will be tasked with expanding the range of services and sectors already offered by K2 Group beyond its existing quantity surveying, project management and construction management services.
As a Member of ODA Executive Management Board Mike had overall responsibility for the procurement, supply chain management, commercial governance and assurance, contract management, compliance and commercial close out and reported directly to the Chairman of the ODA.
Commenting on his new role at K2, Mike said, “I have spent the last six years in a senior role delivering the Olympic venues and more recently as the Director responsible for the legacy conversion of the Olympic Village to 2818 homes. I believe that my experience of delivering high profile major programmes will allow K2 to widen its potential range of services and clients.”
Having previously worked at Currie & Brown as head of its Gatwick Airport team and then at British Airports Authority (BAA), where he was Head of Commercial Capital Projects between 2003 and 2008, Mike’s appointment is the perfect fit with K2, whose founding background in 2001 was the Aviation sector before expanding into other areas.
John Setra, Managing Director at K2 says ‘We are delighted that Mike is joining K2 to reinforce our senior management team, bringing a level of experience and industry best practice to our clients and our organisation. This also builds upon our recent merger with Rider Hunt (London) and supports our long-term plans for expansion. We are very optimistic about the future, particularly now that Mike is part of our team.’
