Leading New South Wales property executive Stephen Bull has been appointed to the Board of Moits, reinforcing the Sydney civil company’s advance in the construction sector.

The appointment of the 20-year industry veteran, who was formerly Stockland Group Executive and Chief Executive Officer of its Retirement Villages business, is an important milestone in the work being undertaken by Moits to grow its business under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Dale Clark.

With $100 million worth of work delivered in the last 12 months, despite local economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic, Mr Clark said the appointment of Mr Bull to the Advisory Board is a notable achievement for the business.

“Stephen brings deep experience in property development, management and financial transactions from his time in executive roles with Westfield, AMP and Stockland,” Mr Clark said.

“His experience in leading strategy, profit centres, property transactions and major mergers and acquisitions in numerous sectors will contribute significant strategic foresight that we as a company value and look for.

“We have been deliberate in revitalising the company to ensure its way forward aligns with industry need, our extensive capabilities and where we see forward-growth in the civil construction space, and this has meant attracting the right people who can help guide and shape our growth for the long-term.

“Stephen’s strong strategic and commercial acumen, combined with the stewardship and guidance of our Board Chair, Martin Monro, will play an important part in this long-term plan for Moits.”

Having held both operational and leadership roles across the real estate sector, Mr Bull said he was delighted to be joining the Moits Board and believed the business was well placed to outperform its peers.

“Moits are well regarded within the industry, have strong and credible management, and a genuine culture of working together and delivering exceptional outcomes for its clients,” Mr Bull said.

“There is a real opportunity within the sector to be a clear leader and to grow the business, and Moits is really well placed to grab that opportunity and run with it.

“I am genuinely excited to be able to be a part of that and share my experience to help the company take advantage of those opportunities.”

Now in its 38th year of operation, the company has commenced the financial year with more than $70 million of work-in-hand, which Mr Clark said includes landmark projects such as the New Sydney Fish Markets, Concord Hospital Redevelopment, Mastery by Crown, Macquarie Exchange and Liverpool Civic Place.

“Despite the difficulties the industry faced last year, we’ve positioned ourselves to take advantage of the strong pipeline of infrastructure and building projects,” Mr Clark said.

“This has allowed us to leverage our competitive edge given our size and position in the market, and we’re now delivering some great projects for clients such as Multiplex, NSW Health Infrastructure, Built, Frasers, Aqualand, Buildcorp and Poly.

“Our capital strength, strong relationships and quality work continues to hold us in good stead for the road ahead, and with the experience of our growing Board we’re well placed for building on the success we have achieved to date.”
