Sir John Armitt has set up a Brexit response team to help politicians and civil servants 鈥渘egotiate the best possible deal鈥� for infrastructure in the UK as the country prepares to leave the European Union.

The Institute of Civil Engineers president and former Olympics Delivery Authority boss Armitt (pictured) said the group will 鈥済ather expert knowledge, data and evidence on what it agrees are the fundamental issues鈥� facing the infrastructure sector.

It will then provide 鈥渃ompelling evidence based briefings鈥� to Brexit negotiators, he added.

Armitt will chair the group, which will include Skanska UK CEO Mike Putnam, Crossrail boss Andrew Wolstenholme, RICS president Amanda Clack, former ICE president Geoff French, head of infrastructure at law firm Pinsent Masons, Richard Laudy, KPMG global infrastructure chair James Stewart, and BSI director of standards Dr Scott Steedman.

Issues facing the UK post Brexit include skills shortages and investor confidence in infrastructure projects, Armitt said.

He added that politicians and officials leading the Brexit negotiations need to be 鈥渆quipped with the facts鈥� on the likely impact of Brexit on the infrastructure sector鈥檚 鈥渟kills supply, costs and capability鈥� as well as the 鈥渒ey issues surrounding infrastructure investment鈥�.

Armitt was writing in his blog on the Institute of Civil Engineers (ICE) website.
