Lafarge Tarmac acquired Tarmac Building Products in April 2014. Mr Joel, who was previously group director of strategy and business performance for Lafarge Tarmac, will oversee Building Products’ 46 operational sites and 800 employees.
Prior to his role within Lafarge Tarmac, he held senior roles at Tarmac, including heading up its UK aggregates, asphalt, and readymix concrete businesses.
Mr Joel said: “It’s an exciting and dynamic time for Lafarge Tarmac. The acquisition of Tarmac Building Products expands our offer and opens up new opportunities for us, particularly in the house-building sector.”
