HS2 civil engineer pledges to widen FF appeal even further
Mark Hipwell has been named as this year’s Future Faces president, succeeding Sian Averill, fundraising manager at Heartlands Hospital Charity. Mark is working for the Laing O’Rourke/
J. Murphy joint venture (LM), on the enabling programme for HS2 in the West Midlands. He studied in Birmingham, then started his
civil engineering career in the South West. He moved back to Birmingham two-and-a-half years ago to work on major projects like HS2 and Highways England’s ‘smart motorway’ schemes. He currently manages the various interfaces
around the Curzon Street station site, dealing with the various contractors, as well as key stakeholders such as Midland Metro Alliance, Millennium Point and Birmingham City University. Mark is excited to take advantage of Birmingham’s visible construction and engineering growth and said: “It’s an exciting time to be a young professional in Birmingham, with the likes of HS2 transforming parts of Birmingham and boosting opportunities for regeneration in the city, plus kilometres of new tram lines being developed by Midland Metro alliance improving connectivity across the city centre and beyond. “I’m honoured to have the opportunity to continue Sian’s great work as Future Faces
A new face for the presidency: Mark Hipwell
president. My goals are to take what we offer young professionals and engage more in the construction and engineering industries, which forms a huge part of what Birmingham is offering the West Midlands and the UK. “The city will be at the heart of a new
transport revolution and I’m honoured to help encourage the professionals of tomorrow.” Mark intends to continue the engagement
Future Faces has had with Beatfreeks and the Brum Youth Report, looking to better connect
with Birmingham’s young and enthusiastic citizens, and said: “We are the youngest city in Europe with 40 per cent of the population under the age of 25, but we don’t see that representation in our positions of influence or businesses based in Birmingham. “I love Future Faces and it’s given me so much
over the last two years, offering amazing highs in my career and personal friendships, and helping me through challenging times. This is my chance to give something back, and build Future Faces into the young people’s network for Birmingham, not just young professionals.” Anna Assinder, Future Faces manager, said:
“The committee and I are thrilled to welcome Mark as the Chamber’s new president. “Mark is a committed, active, engaged member and ambassador of Future Faces, emulating the enthusiasm and diligence of our member base. “He has been extremely active with the Chamber over the years, and brings to his presidency the knowledge and experience of manufacturing and engineering – the first president in this sector. “I am confident that Mark will bring the same
positivity and enthusiasm to his tenure as president, and I am eager to see his plans as president come to fruition.”
