Colin Hamilton has been appointed to the newly created role of Managing Director, Capital Projects at ISS UK & Ireland.
The creation of this new role reflects a growing market for solutions to a range of building, refurbishment, and sustainability challenges across the built environment. Hamilton’s appointment will help ISS leverage and augment its capital projects capability to service this expanding range of client needs and meet its own ambitious growth targets.
Hamilton is a Chartered Civil Engineer with more than 35 years’ experience in capital projects management, in both the public and private sectors. In a consulting capacity, he joined ISS in December 2024 to independently review the company’s capital projects offering and suggest ways to deploy inhouse expertise to build stronger, deeper, and more valuable client partnerships. In his new role, Hamilton will lead a central team, working closely with the company’s network of key account directors and managers to provide the bespoke solutions their clients need.
Hamilton said of his appointment: “I am thrilled to be joining ISS at such a significant moment for capital projects growth. This new department represents a strategic investment in the future, allowing ISS to strengthen its project capabilities, drive greater value for clients, support sustainable growth and build on the strong foundations already in place. I am looking forward to working closely with ISS’ teams, partners, and stakeholders to grow this business in a meaningful way.”
Scott Davies, CEO, ISS UK & Ireland, commented: “In recent years, ISS has continued to win and retain business thanks to our deep understanding of our clients’ objectives. This new appointment reflects that understanding, and our ability to leverage our proven service record to support clients as part of genuine, strategic partnerships. We are delighted to bring Colin’s experience and business acumen to bear as he leads the charge in this key growth area.”
