He began his career as a quantity surveyor and then attended the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst ahead of a decade of service in the British Army. He delivered defence programmes including the regional prime contract for the South West, and Project SLAM – a contract to provide 23,000 of the Ministry of Defence’s bedrooms for single personnel.
Gorski, said: “My focus will be to ensure Lendlease remains a leader in the construction sector and continues to provide an exceptional service to our customers. We already have some of the finest talent in the industry working at Lendlease, and I have absolutely no doubt that we will continue to deliver great schemes and win new business.”
He takes over from Neil Martin who was recently promoted to the role of chief operating officer for Lendlease in Europe.
Dan Labbad, CEO for Lendlease Europe, said: “At Lendlease our construction business is synonymous with the delivery of high-quality projects on time and budget for both the public and private sectors. Nobody is better qualified to continue that record than Simon. He is an outstanding member of our team and thoroughly deserves his new role.”
