Travis Perkins plc announced Pete Redfern has been appointed as a Director of the Company and Chief Executive Officer with effect from 16 September 2024. Pete succeeds Nick Roberts, who will step down as CEO and from the Board on the same day. Pete brings over two decades of leadership, operational and finance experience in the construction sector, including 14 years as Group Chief Executive of Taylor Wimpey plc until 2022.
