After nearly 18 months with Aarsleff, James Burchell has returned to Groundforce, the Vp company where he spent the first 26 years of his career.
Burchell joined Groundforce in 1998 as a yard labourer/driver before moving into sales and management roles. By the time he left Groundforce in September 2024 he was director of the Piletec and Mr Cropper divisions, the latter of which was recently shut down by Vp and its assets sold.
He subsequently spent nearly 18 month with Aarsleff Ground Engineering as plant director but has now returned to Groundforce as global major projects director.
On his new appointment, Burchell said: 鈥淢y vision is clear 鈥� to grow the business, embrace complexity and drive innovation, ensuring that Groundforce remains the industry鈥檚 preferred partner for excavation support solutions at home and abroad. By pushing boundaries and setting new standards, we will further strengthen Groundforce鈥檚 position as the go-to partner for complex major projects globally.鈥�
