Causeway Technologies has promoted chief operating officer Paul Devlin to chief executive officer, as the company's founder Phil Brown transitions to executive chairman.
In his new role, Mr Devlin (picture) will head the day-day operations of a workforce of more than 500 employees serving over 3,000 customers worldwide.
Mr Devlin said: 'It is with huge pride that I become a first-time CEO. I am committed to working with the team to continue to grow this phenomenal company. As COO, I have seen firsthand – and share – the passion that has driven Causeway’s success for more than a quarter of a century.'
Commenting on his own role change, Mr Brown said: 'The passion and belief that I have for this business burns brightly and I want to use my new role to get even closer to the companies and people that are going to drive the digital revolution that is coming in the industry we serve.'
He added: 'Phil has been the driving force behind the remarkable success story that is Causeway Technologies and it is a great honour to be handed the baton by him. We will be working very closely in the future as I build on the impressive work that he has spearheaded.'
Mr Brown's new role will see him supporting Mr Devlin and the leadership team with strategy.
The company said there would be a particular focus on CausewayOne, a cloud platform that will see Causeway achieve its founding vision for a fully digitalised and connected construction industry.
The company also plans to make a 'significant investment in data and AI'.
'Ultimately, my vision is to see Causeway at the forefront of innovation that is changing construction and maintenance for the better,' Mr Devlin said.
Causeway's software solutions serve over 200 local authorities, 600 engineering consultants, and more than 1,000 contractors, making it the UK's largest software provider for construction and infrastructure companies and their supply chains.
From design to build, operation and maintenance, Causeway delivers integrated, cloud-based software that streamlines business processes.
