Eddisons has appointed Nick Foster as the company’s new head of health and safety.
Foster, who has more than three decades’ experience in the construction sector, including 15 years as a health and safety professional, will work across Eddisons’ building consultancy team, which is headed by regional managing partner Ian Harrington.
He will be based in the firm’s Leeds head office with a national remit to oversee health and safety compliance and ensure best practice across every design and construction project.
Harrington said: “We are really pleased to have Nick on board. As health and safety legislation continues to evolve and become ever more complex, his wealth of knowledge and proactive approach will be instrumental as we continue to grow our building consultancy services, particularly in the education sector.
“Nick’s appointment underlines Eddisons’ commitment to delivering the very best value and safety assurance for clients and is also central to driving forward the firm’s strategic growth trajectory.”
Foster added: “This is an exciting time to be joining Eddisons and to be able to contribute to their reputation for excellence in building consultancy. Changes to the Construction, Design and Management (CDM) Regulations and Building Regulations are widening the scope and responsibility of health and safety in any design and construction project and Eddisons have shown that they are on the front foot in ensuring they are fully compliant and on board with this new focus.
“I am looking forward to helping the firm continue their proactive approach and to providing best-in-class support, and safe and compliant, innovative solutions for clients.”
