Mr Griffiths has been with the Group for 28 years, and has served as a board director for the past seven years.
We are therefore pleased to announce the appointment of James Cullens as Mr Griffiths’ successor.

A graduate of Cambridge University, Mr Cullens brings significant senior leadership experience gained in both the UK and internationally. He is a non-executive director of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and a member of the International Advisory Board of the Open University Business School.
Mr Cullens will join the Group and will become a board director on 1 July 2014.
Prof Dr Uwe Krueger said, “I would like to thank Alun for his dedication and commitment to the Group over the past 28 years and for playing his part in making Atkins the successful company it is today. In addition to his role in HR, he has been a trusted advisor to me and the rest of the board on a number of subjects. He is a much valued, highly experienced board member. He has supported and helped to steer numerous successful careers of Atkins colleagues over the years. I look forward to welcoming James as he joins our team.”
