Brankley, CEO joins CONSTRUCT as Council Member
Lee
Brankley, Chief Executive Officer of the reinforcing steels certification
authority, CARES, has joined as a Council Member of CONSTRUCT, bringing with
him very extensive experience in the steel industry, spanning more than 25
years.
Lee’s
overarching focus on the Council will be to extend and deepen the senior level
relationships he has built with a wide range of stakeholders including
contractors, consultants, designers, and specifiers. The pace of change has
accelerated with regulatory and digital priorities now front of mind for all
those who share CARES commitment to deliver safe, sustainable, and quality
steels backed up by the digital assurance and product provenance CARES schemes
bring to the industry.
Lee
has been CEO at CARES for the past seven years – earlier he enjoyed several
senior roles rising to become General Manager before he was appointed CEO in
2015. Since then, he has transformed CARES operational capability and
accelerated CARES’ international reach with offices in Hong Kong and Singapore
as well as launching CARES schemes across Australasia. During the pandemic Lee
oversaw CARES transformation to remote assurance and certification services
while also devising and delivering a new brand strategy recently launched
across all 50 international markets in which CARES now operates.
