Fisher will replace Andy Milner with immediate effect, who is leaving the company after a long career and almost four years in the role of Chief Executive.
Fisher joined Amey in 2017.

Amey is owned by Ferrovial, are one of the world’s largest infrastructure management and investment companies. Ferrovial has more than 96,000 employees and a presence in over 15 countries. It is a member of Spain’s blue-chip IBEX 35 index.

"Through her extraordinary results since joining Amey, Amanda has demonstrated her undoubted ability to assume the position of Chief Executive,” said Fidel López Soria, CEO of Ferrovial Services.
“I would like to thank Andy for his dedication and commitment throughout his career in Amey and Ferrovial, and particularly for navigating the business through some very challenging years within our sector."
Speaking on her appointment, Fisher said: “I have been offered the role to lead Amey through what is both an exciting but demanding time for our industry. Recently the business has overcome many challenges. My focus will be on ensuring we build on this, readying ourselves for the next phase, delivering what our clients and the communities we serve need.”
