Read Full ArticleThe Building Engineering Services Association has named Adrian Hurley as its new President for 2024-25.
Adrian has been involved with the association since 2019 when he joined the council as the elected representative for Wales. He joined the Membership Committee in 2021 and was appointed BESA Vice President in 2022.
He is Managing Director of the design, installation and maintenance contractor FP Hurley & Sons which was founded by his grandfather Frank 75 years ago.
“We are rightly proud of our history and the impact BESA has made over the years,” he said. “As we face up to another period of major transition, the association will once again provide leadership, guidance, and expertise to ensure members seize the opportunities for growth and diversification that are essential to the future of our businesses and the people we employ.”
At BESA’s President’s Lunch at the Oxo Tower in London, Adrian set out his priorities for his presidency. He committed to continue to lobby the government to produce a national programme of commercial building retrofits,
“The deployment of new technologies, like heat pumps, is exciting and progressive, but there is so much we could still do to improve the performance of what is already built and installed,” he said. “It will take a combination of innovation, more strategic use of digital technology, and better recruitment to address this.”
Adrian also raised concerns about the lack of women entering the building services industry and promised that BESA would pursue new ways of attracting new talent, by restructuring its training and skills service.
Adrian takes over the presidency from Claire Curran, who was elected for the 2023/24 term.
