Former strategy and programme director for Midlands Connect, Mike Bull, has been appointed as head of infrastructure for England and Wales at Currie & Brown.

Mr Bull previously spent 14 years at Highways England (now National Highways), with roles including regional sponsor – major projects, regional commercial lead, transformation programme group leader and head of national intelligence unit.

He brings 23 years of experience in infrastructure, having previously worked on motorway investment programmes, the Midlands Rail Hub, and HS2's Phase 2b.

In his new position with Currie & Brown, Mr Bull will support clients across transport, energy, utilities and related sectors.

Kieran McManamon, regional managing director for England and Wales at Currie & Brown, said: ‘The infrastructure market is changing quickly. Our clients need clear advice that helps them make investment decisions, manage risk and deliver essential networks people rely on every day.

‘Mike has led major programmes, built strong business cases and worked with stakeholders at every level. His appointment strengthens our ability to help clients respond to this changing landscape and deliver infrastructure with confidence.'

Mr Bull added: ‘Delivering major infrastructure programmes is complex. Political sensitivity, public visibility and pressure to demonstrate clear value make it even harder, particularly when funding decisions are under scrutiny.

‘I have spent much of my career making the investment case for major programmes. I've engaged stakeholders and helped teams balance ambition with deliverability. I'm looking forward to bringing that perspective to Currie & Brown's clients to help them make better decisions, manage uncertainty and deliver programmes that create lasting value.'
