en.Wedoany.com Reported - Kydd joins Sir Robert McAlpine as managing director of its healthcare division, succeeding Stuart McArthur, who is stepping down. McArthur completes the handover after a decade of helping to establish the contractor's healthcare business and its market-leading IHP joint venture with Vinci Building.

Kydd brings over 20 years of healthcare industry experience to Sir Robert McAlpine. Previously, he served as healthcare and education director at private contractor Wates for three years. Earlier, after leaving Balfour Beatty, he spent nearly eight years as UK healthcare lead at consultancy WSP. During his eight years at Balfour Beatty, he rose to become healthcare market development lead.

Kydd stated that Sir Robert McAlpine's healthcare expertise and the IHP joint venture are nationally recognized, and he looks forward to building on this foundation to seize opportunities arising from increased investment in healthcare facilities.

McAlpine's IHP joint venture will deliver the redevelopment of Leighton Hospital in Crewe, one of the first projects launched under the New Hospital Programme to replace a 1970s-era hospital affected by RAAC. Before his departure, McArthur helped steer the business through the COVID-19 pandemic and cemented IHP's position as one of the UK's leading healthcare construction firms. During his tenure, Sir Robert McAlpine and IHP secured major healthcare projects and won a place in the Hospital 2.0 Alliance, which leads the New Hospital Programme's standardized hospital construction strategy.
