Leeds-based construction consultancy Walker Sime has appointed Cathy Palmer as Director of Regeneration Delivery to lead a newly-launched Region delivery Service.
Cathy joins from the role of Head of Regeneration Delivery at Wirral Council where she led Birkenhead’s once-in-a-generation transformation programme.
He department will offer a range of support including project mobilisation, investment plans, business case development, delivery strategies, governance, grant funding advice, bid support, procurement strategy, project planning and risk management, making it a significant offer in the industry.
She said the launch of the dedicated service had come in response to the increasing demands for regeneration initiatives, driven by government funding for Levelling Up, Long Term Plan for Towns, Future High Street and Sustainable Transport Settlement Funds. “I am excited to lead the Regen Delivery service at Walker Sime and look forward to collaborating with Private Developers and Local Authorities to bring about positive transformative change in communities.
