Construction group CRH has said its finance director Maeve Carton is to assume the new role of group transformation director from January next.
In her new role Ms Carton will be charged with identifying and implementing “the optimum financial and business model for the group” in order to boost shareholder returns.
Ms Carton will continue to report to chief executive Albert Manifold and will remain an executive director of the group.
“This is a key role for the future of CRH at a time of change. Maeve’s experience and insight into the structures and operations of CRH are invaluable at this time of transformation,” said Mr Manifold.
A search for a new finance director is expected to be completed by year-end.
