SITECH® UK & Ireland has appointed a new Head of Business and launched a new internal sales division to meet the increasing demand for digitalisation in the construction industry. Alex Gadd has been appointed the new Head of Business at SITECH. With a comprehensive background in business development in the construction sector, Gadd brings a wealth of experience in sales, operations, product and aftermarket. In addition to Alex’s sales and operational expertise he brings solid strategic experience which will support the continued growth of the company’s on and off machine technology solutions provision. Along with this new appointment SITECH UK & Ireland, the UK leading connected construction technology specialist and UK authorised dealer for Trimble® machine control systems, has launched a new internal sales division. The division will support the company’s growth as demand increases for digital solutions. The new team also incorporates an internal promotion, with this person responsible for connecting with new customers, developing key relationships and cultivating sales across the UK and Ireland to support increasing demand in the industry. Current projections estimate that the construction industry in the UK and Ireland is on track to grow by 8% in 2025, and by 10% in 2026. However, the shortage of skilled workers combined with this growth means it is vital for the industry to diversify to meet demand, according to Gadd. Gadd said: “My role is to build on the existing success of SITECH and ensure that the company continues to be at the forefront of providing connected technology solutions. Given the projected growth in the industry and shortage of skilled workers, we are seeing our customers looking at new ways to increase on-site efficiencies. “By launching the new internal sales division, we are expanding our capability to ensure customers can bridge the gap between demand and engineer. With support from SITECH it is possible for skilled engineers to focus on more complex tasks. For instance, Trimble® technology can complete surveys reliably and efficiently – a process which would otherwise require multiple on-site engineers. “I am looking forward to collaborating with the rest of the SITECH team to provide an unrivalled customer technology solution to our customers, ensuring they are able to adapt to the changing landscape of the construction industry today.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

Renowned Corporate Lawyer and Law Firm Leader will Bring Extensive Transactional Expertise, with Emphasis on the Life Sciences, Health Care and Infrastructure Sectors Hamid Yunis, a standout corporate lawyer known for helping global clients navigate highly complex transactions, will join Pillsbury’s London office as partner. Yunis will join the firm’s Corporate practice from McDermott Will & Emery, where he had previously served as the London Office Managing Partner for five-and-a-half years and head of the London Health Care group, having been a key part of the team responsible for significantly growing the office’s headcount and revenue. “Hamid operates a sizeable, multifaceted practice that spans Life Sciences & Digital Health, Health Care, Infrastructure, and Private Wealth—areas that align with Pillsbury strengths, increasing client needs and global trends,” said Firm Chair David Dekker. “He will add new dimensions to our growing London office, expand our substantial cross-border M&A team, and bring valuable connections internationally, especially across the Middle East region.” Yunis operates a diverse transactional practice, advising clients on mergers & acquisitions, private equity investments, projects and corporate finance matters in jurisdictions around the world. He is recognised by Chambers UK for his work on corporate and commercial healthcare matters and has an established track record of bringing innovative joint venture, public-private partnership, and funding structures to market. He also has deep connections in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia—where Pillsbury recently announced its intentions to build upon decades of work in the country by opening an office in Riyadh, in partnership with AlArfaj & Partners—the United Arab Emirates, and the wider Middle East region, regularly advising sovereign wealth funds on health, infrastructure and other investments and transactions. “Hamid joining our Firm will present material benefits to Pillsbury’s global clientele,” said Jeffrey Delaney, Pillsbury’s global Co-head of Corporate & Securities. “His proven ability to achieve ‘trusted advisor’ status with those he represents is a testament to his vast legal knowledge, collaborative approach, and unwavering commitment to clients. We are thrilled that he will soon be on our team.” “Our ability to attract someone of Hamid’s stature onboard is a reflection of Pillsbury’s reputation for excellence, in London and globally,” noted Matthew Oresman, Managing Partner of the Firm’s City office. “Hamid has a wealth of expertise in the dynamic Life Sciences and Health Care sectors and a global profile that fits with the London office’s role as a nexus for international clients. His robust network and successful experience as a London law firm leader position Hamid well to further accelerate Pillsbury already impressive growth in London.” With English and U.S. law capabilities, Pillsbury’s London office helps clients navigate high-stakes and cross-border disputes, transactions and regulatory issues across Europe and throughout the Americas, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Over the past year, the London office has welcomed four partners and nearly a dozen lawyers in total, reinforcing its market leading practices in the office and affording additional depth to meet growing client needs. Recent notable arrivals include Laurence Lieberman, a cross-border disputes partner with deep connections to the Indian and Israeli markets; partner Audrey Koh, with a leading Corporate Investigations & White Collar Defence practice; Korea-focused International Trade partner Sungbum Lee, who splits time between Washington, DC, and London; and Gawain Hughes, an investment funds partner with a standout reputation for work on secondary and co-investment deals. Like Yunis, both Lee and Hughes are Chambers-ranked in their respective practice areas. Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
