Richard Howson has been appointed construction president of a firm.

It comes after he was banned by the UK's Insolvency Service in October for eight years.

Outsourcing and construction group Carillion collapsed into liquidation in January 2018.

Mr Howson, aged 55, who was its CEO from 2011 to 2017, has the senior role at Florida green technology company TECfusions which renovates and develops energy projects and data centres.
