Hercules Site Services is accelerating its growth trajectory with a heavyweight addition to its leadership team. The company’s latest move signals a sharpened focus on seizing infrastructure opportunities across the UK’s booming sectors, with a seasoned industry leader now at the helm of business development.
Hercules Site Services has appointed Jacques Kriel as Business Development Director (non-board) to drive expansion in its core labour supply operations. With a strong background in civil engineering and construction, Kriel brings extensive expertise in strategic growth and infrastructure delivery. His appointment aligns with Hercules’ broader ambition to enhance its market presence amid sustained investment across key UK infrastructure sectors.
Kriel’s appointment is set to power Hercules’ business development strategy, identifying new opportunities and reinforcing the firm’s footprint in rail, highways, utilities, nuclear, and energy. Known for building strong industry relationships and delivering scalable growth, Kriel is expected to be instrumental in securing new partnerships and contracts as the company scales its operations.
Working closely with CEO Brusk Korkmaz, Kriel joins Hercules at a pivotal moment as the UK embarks on large-scale upgrades across its infrastructure. His previous leadership roles in prominent construction and labour supply firms position him well to support Hercules’ ambitious growth plans.
To align long-term incentives, Kriel has been granted options over more than 300,000 ordinary shares in Hercules at an exercise price of 47.5p. The options vest on 2 February 2027 and expire in February 2029, reflecting confidence in his ability to deliver shareholder value.
CEO Brusk Korkmaz welcomed the appointment, noting that Kriel’s sector insight and commercial drive will add significant momentum to the company’s expansion strategy. With major projects underway across nuclear, aviation, energy distribution, and transport, Hercules is strengthening its team to meet rising demand and deliver sustained growth.
