March 5 (Reuters) - British real estate services

provider Balfour Beatty on Wednesday named Philip Hoare

as its next CEO, to replace Leo Quinn who will leave the company

after more than 10 years.

Hoare joins Balfour Beatty from global engineering services

group AtkinsRéalis, where he was chief operating

officer for a year after leading the UK and global engineering

services businesses.

Quinn, who will stay in the role until September, has been

crucial to strengthening the group's financial position with its

shares rising about 190% since he took over as CEO on October

15, 2014.
