30 Second Briefing
Currie & Brown has appointed Mike Bull as head of infrastructure for England and Wales, with a remit to grow project and programme management work in regions outside London and the South East. Bull brings 23 years’ experience from roles including strategy and programme director at Midlands Connect and leadership positions on the Midlands Rail Hub, HS2 Phase 2b between Manchester and Birmingham, and motorway investment programmes. Currie & Brown signals a push to support clients on investment decisions, risk management and business case development across major transport and network schemes.
Technical Brief
- Appointment covers infrastructure commissions across England and Wales, explicitly excluding London and the South East.
- Role sits within Currie & Brown’s regional England & Wales business under managing director Kieran McManamon.
- For regional geotechnical and civil teams, stronger programme leadership typically tightens risk allocation, phasing logic and ground-related contingency planning.
Our Take
Currie & Brown also appears in our coverage of the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre redevelopment in London, signalling that its advisory role spans both major transport schemes like HS2 Phase 2b and complex urban regeneration projects.
Bringing in a head of infrastructure with 23 years’ experience on schemes such as the Midlands Rail Hub is likely to strengthen Currie & Brown’s bid credibility on upcoming rail and city‑region transport packages, where demonstrable delivery track record is a key evaluation criterion for UK clients.
