New Appointment to the Natta Board

Huw Rees has been appointed to the Natta Board as Technical Director, as part of the ongoing restructure and continued expansion plan.

Managing Director, John E Whelan commented, “This new Natta Board appointment is in recognition of all the hard work that Huw does and his efforts in defining the Technical Department. As a relatively new area of the business, Huw has harnessed Natta’s capabilities in pre-commencement works, in-house design, value engineering, geo-environmental and innovation.”

He continued, “Under Huw’s stewardship, the Technical Department has gone from strength to strength. His area provides cost-saving benefits for the company and broadens our offering of services to our clients. Huw will be instrumental in the strategic development of Natta going forward.”
