James Tallon

James Tallon was appointed Term Maintenance Director at FM Conway in 2016 and is responsible for the development and employment of large public-sector tenders and highway maintenance services, to help local authorities manage essential infrastructure and oversee all operations across the division.

James is passionate about the opportunities within our industry and advocates greater engagement to attract and inspire people to shape UK infrastructure, which led him to FM Conway in 2003.

Starting out as a Highways Apprentice in Merton, it has provided him with years of valuable experience operating on the tools and developing an in-depth understanding of the operational functionalities within highways maintenance.
