Wates appoints health, safety and wellbeing director
Today we have announced the appointment of Brian Long as Group Health, Safety & Wellbeing Director. He will join in September and sit on the Group’s Executive Committee, reporting to Chief Executive Officer, Eoghan O’Lionaird.
Brian joins Wates from Mirvac, one of Australia’s largest development and construction companies, where he was Group General Manager for Health, Safety, and Environment.
He brings 25 years’ experience to this role from a career spanning Europe, the US, and Australia. This includes roles at Woolworths, Australia and New Zealand’s largest food retail group, the engineering and consulting firm AECOM, and Lendlease, where he led health and safety initiatives for the group.
I have been very impressed with the genuine care Wates has for the wellbeing of its employees and partners, as well as its excellent track record in managing safety. I am eagerly looking forward to joining the company later this year to run its industry-leading work in this space.”
