Mr McClintock succeeds Diane Smith-Gander, who stepped down on Friday 16 September. Ms Smith-Gander had served as Chairman since October 2013 and as a Director since October 2010.
Mr McClintock has a distinguished track record in both the public and private sectors.

Managing Director and CEO of Broadspectrum, Graeme Hunt, welcomed Mr McClintock’s appointment and paid tribute to Ms Smith-Gander. Mr Hunt said:
“Diane has been an outstanding Chairman during a challenging period for the Company. She oversaw the turnaround of the business and successfully negotiated the acquisition of the Company by Ferrovial earlier this year. We wish her the very best.”
“Paul has an unrivalled track record spanning commercial, government and not-for-profit roles. His unique blend of experience will be a huge asset for Broadspectrum and our parent company, Ferrovial, and we’re delighted to have him on board,” he said.
