EllisDon Corporation, a leading construction company headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, has announced two executive promotions in its legal and modular divisions.
Tom Howell, senior vice president of legal services and labour relations, has accepted the role of leading EllisDon Modular, the emerging manufacturing/prefab division.
Howell joined EllisDon as vice president of labour relations in 2012. He continues as the industry leader in that role today, and in 2016 he was promoted to senior vice president of legal services and labour relations. Under his leadership, the capacity of that team has developed along with EllisDon’s into more complex projects, cradle to grave services, financing and sometimes challenging joint ventures.

In 2018, Durán was promoted to vice president and general counsel at EllisDon.
