The Chief Executive of the Scottish Futures Trust (SFT) will make a substantial contribution to improving value for money in infrastructure projects across Scotland, John Swinney said today.
The Finance Secretary was commenting following the appointment of Barry White, who will lead SFT as it pushes ahead with support for infrastructure investment.
Mr Swinney said:
"I welcome Barry White's appointment and look forward to him making a substantial contribution to improving the value for money of public investment in Scotland. Barry has significant experience in capital investment in public infrastructure within the private sector.
"I look forward to that experience now being deployed to deliver greater value for money for the public purse in capital investment which is the core purpose of SFT. This is another strong step in continuing the implementation of SFT which is taking forward major investment activity in the hub programme and in the schools estate."
