Tim Balcon, the former Chief Executive of Propertymark who suddenly departed the role last February after only four months in post, has landed a new position.

Yesterday Balcon tweeted: “I’m delighted to be joining CITB as their new CEO, a great organisation which does so much to help attract people into the construction sector and support their development within it. I join on 1st Sept and can’t wait to get started!”

CITB is the Sector Skills Council and Industry Training Board for the construction industry, “delivering a safe, professional and fully qualified workforce”.

“What a mess!” Propertymark CEO Tim Balcon leaves with immediate effect
