Willmott Dixon, the UK's second-largest privately-owned capital works, regeneration and support services company, is boosting its education skill set with the arrival of former Bristol BSF lead negotiator, Janie Chesterton, as the company's new head of education.

Prior to joining Willmott Dixon, Ms Chesterton spent five years on Bristol City Council's PFI and BSF teams, where she undertook negotiations for the council on its schools PFI schemes, one of which became the UK's first education LEP, and co-wrote Bristol's bid for BSF.
