Carnell is delighted to welcome Rich Marshall as our new Engineering Director. Rich joins us following an extensive career spanning nearly two decades at National Highways, where he held a series of senior leadership roles.

Working primarily within the Yorkshire and North East region, Rich began as Regional Operations Manager before taking on a secondment to the Olympic Delivery Authority, contributing to the delivery of the London 2012 Games. On his return, he became Regional Director, and in 2021 he moved into a national role as Transformation and Performance Director, shaping strategy at the highest level.

Carnell Managing Director Andrew Sharp commented on the appointment:

“Rich brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the team. This new Engineering Director role will be pivotal in both developing and growing our asset management and engineering solutions capabilities and capacity. We see this as an important new growth area as we look to offer more end-to-end value for our clients.”

Looking ahead to his new role, Rich said:

“I have seen Carnell grow over the years, to be the strategic supplier to National Highways that they are today. I’ve always been impressed with the commitment to providing a great service to clients, with a focus on safety and innovation. The Carnell ambition for growth and success in the highway maintenance sector excites me and I relish the opportunity to support and influence this ambition in the years to come.”
