Steve Catlin has been promoted to Managing Director of Galliford Try’s Facilities Management business.

Catlin has a wealth of experience spanning 15 years in the FM, property and security sectors and joined construction group Galliford Try from G4S in 2016 as Regional Director. Since then, he has played an instrumental role in the success of Galliford Try FM (GTFM), leveraging existing contracts and frameworks, and developing Galliford Try’s capabilities in small works and net zero retrofit.

As Managing Director Catlin will lead GTFM through its next phase as Galliford Try targets growth in these areas as part of its Sustainable Growth Strategy. He will report to Mark Baxter, Executive Board member of Galliford Try and Divisional Managing Director of its Specialist Services Division, which includes GTFM.

Having been involved in significantly growing the size of our business since I joined in 2016, I look forward to delivering the next phase of our growth journey and maximising our strengths in a competitive marketplace. GTFM is an organisation driven by a culture of being authentically people focussed in everything that we do, and I am excited to lead the business into what promises to be a very bright future.”

Baxter said of Catlin’s promotion: “This promotion reflects the success of GTFM to date, and its importance to our strategy as we look to deliver sustainable growth to 2026 and beyond. As a people-orientated business, we are delighted to have been able to make this appointment from within, demonstrating the quality of talent we have, as well as our commitment to developing our people. I look forward to working with Steve in his new role.”
