Evans said: ‘My immediate priority as editor will be to expand our digital offering on our main website cnplus.co.uk and our interactive data-based intelligence service cninsight.cnplus.co.uk so that we are first with all the intelligence, breaking news and opinion the industry wants.”
She said that after a tough three years for the construction industry, “firms need and value a business magazine and website that help them find and win work”.
She added: ‘Construction News does this through exclusive news stories about the industry online and in print – which companies are shortlisted for which jobs, what individual companies are up to, what the government expects of the industry.
‘Plus the magazine contains opinion, technical content, and a wealth of intelligence and data. It is a fascinating time to be editor of CN and a fantastic industry to write about and spend time with.”
