Willmott Dixon Appoints Chief Operating Officers

Willmott Dixon is eyeing future growth in the house building and interiors markets by appointing Chief Operating Officers (COO) at the two companies responsible for work in these areas.

Charlie Scherer joins as COO at Willmott Dixon Housing, while Mike Hart switches from his current role as director within Willmott Dixon Capital Works to become COO at Willmott Dixon Interiors.

The move sees a return to the company for Charlie, who previously worked as a commercial director before leaving in 2004. He re-joins from Leadbitter where he was their director responsible for the South West and Wales. Prior to that, Charlie was the national housing director at Rok.

In his new role, Charlie will be responsible for developing a strategy for expanding Willmott Dixon’s house building business throughout England and Wales, building on customer relationships and developing innovative ways to meet the ‘more for less’ challenge clients demand.

As COO at Willmott Dixon Interiors, Mike Hart will lead Willmott Dixon’s targeted growth ambitions in the interiors market, where it’s active across several sectors including commercial offices, education, hotel and retail. It already has several repeat business customers such as Tesco and is currently fitting-out 32 Lincoln’s Inn Fields, a new eight storey building for the London School of Economics and Political Science. Recently, it fitted out McQ’s new London flagship store in Dover Street.
