Constructionline, the largest accreditation service within the sector, has appointed John Edmunds as its managing director to oversee general day-to-day operations and develop the organisation’s long-term growth plan. Constructionline, which provides both sourcing and procurement software as well as professional services covering the broad spectrum of capabilities across the construction sector, will be led by Edmunds whose ambitions begin with the launch of the company’s new buyer services and web-based digital platform.

The experienced Edmunds, who boasts a decade and a half delivering transformative business development, new product ranges and tangible market growth within the technology sector, has notable expertise across a broad range of industries. Indeed, his specialism is not strictly based on long-running businesses needing a boost as Edmunds has successfully worked with start-ups and mid-market enterprises.  This has seen him achieve plenty of industry awards, the most recent being the “40 Under 40 Award” as an emerging leader in the global gaming sector.

Constructionline’s new managing director, who has worked all over the world and across a variety of continents, joins from California’s FutureLogic Inc, where he held a number of senor executive positions. One of Edmunds’ most recent accomplishments was the transformation and sale by private equity group American Capital of FutureLogic.

His new role brings with it a lot of excitement for Edmunds who noted he had joined the company at an intriguing point in its history. “Since Capita’s acquisition of Constructionline in January 2015, we have made significant  investments in development and people capital and will continue to do so,” he said. This will enable Constructionline to “become a better partner for all our clients” while helping “the industry work more effectively every day”.
