Infrastructure and business services group Mouchel has appointed Andrew Body as Managing Director of its Middle East business.

Andrew spent the past eight years at Hyder Consulting where he set up its New Zealand office before moving to the Middle East as the company's Sector Managing Director for Transport for the Middle East Region and then its Middle East Regional Business Development Director, winning Hyder's largest ever consulting contract.

Mouchel has worked in the Middle East for more than 30 years, primarily in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. It focuses on the design and supervision of infrastructure works; primarily highways, but also marine works and major utility projects. Mouchel's role is extending into managed services and asset management for municipalities.

Andrew is looking forward to the challenges his new role brings: "Mouchel has a fantastic pedigree and capability in the UK and in the Middle East.   We aim to ensure that we connect the best people throughout the business with our clients, so we can offer the best service and best engineering solutions."

Andrew joined Mouchel on Sunday 9 December.
