Bill Hocking
Bill Hocking, currently in charge of Galliford Try’s construction business, is set to become the company’s new chief executive following the departure of Graham Prothero.

Ge was previously executive vice president on the executive management team of Skanska UK from 2008, having joined the company in 1990.
