Ferrovial subsidiary in Australia Broadspectrum appoints Nick Miller as CEO

MADRID, 12-Feb-2018 — /EuropaWire/ — Broadspectrum, the Australian subsidiary of Ferrovial Services, has appointed Nick Miller to the position of Chief Executive Officer; he will fully assume these functions in May. Since 2010, Miller has been Managing Director of Fulton Hogan, a construction and services company that operates in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific, having spearheaded the company’s expansion and consolidation in the region.

In his 25-year career, Nick Miller has served on the boards of companies and professional associations, such as the Australian Contractors Association (ACA), Coleridge Downs, Ltd. and Orion New Zealand. Miller is a civil engineer; he is a member of the Institute of Professional Engineers New Zealand and a fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

Fidel López, the current CEO of Broadspectrum, will work closely with Miller to ensure a smooth handover. After a lengthy career in Ferrovial’s Services and Airports divisions, López joined Broadspectrum to lead its integration into Ferrovial Services following the acquisition in 2016. During this time, he has contributed decisively to transforming Broadspectrum, strengthening its financial position and reinforcing the corporate culture in order to seize business opportunities. Fidel López is to rejoin Ferrovial in an executive position.
