Wood has strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of Jennifer Richmond as the company's first Chief Strategy Officer (CSO).

"Jennifer has a strong track record of delivering transformational growth at Jacobs and has played a leading role in our strategic progress in the past 18 months.
"Jennifer's new remit will ensure that we are laser-focused on keeping our 35,000 people safe, accelerating sustainable growth in energy and materials, enhancing the quality of our business and realising further value for our stakeholders."
