WICE awards finalist for Business Development in 2019, Elizabeth has played a pivotal role in advocating MMC as a strategic priority for Kier. She has led Kier’s MMC initiative ‘The Choice Factory’ which seeks to break down the barriers of knowledge gaps, lack of awareness and embedded behaviours, whilst giving Kier colleagues the tools and resources to be able to articulate and implement Kier’s system agnostic approach. Working as part of the preconstruction team for Kier Strategic Projects, Elizabeth is proactive in engaging in wider industry forums and Kier’s supply chain to champion the sharing of best practice. This is evident through the industry-wide promotion of Kier’s £253m prison project, HMP Five Wells, which has won 14 industry awards for its pioneering platform design approach, use of digital technologies and application of offsite manufacture. Elizabeth is also sustainability champion for Kier Strategic Projects, helping to shape the business's route to net zero delivery.
