Caddick, the privately-owned property and construction business, has appointed a new board member and made a number of promotions within its developments division as its project portfolio grows and it expands into new regions.
Group Legal Director, Helen Gardner takes up a new position on the newly formed operations board of the developments business, whilst continuing to spearhead the organisation’s growing legal team. Based at the Group’s Yorkshire headquarters, she will be implementing a cohesive, national legal and governance strategy for Caddick and ensuring efficiencies across the businesses.
Alistair Smith has been promoted to Director, focusing on delivering and strengthening Caddick’s industrial and logistics pipeline – from inception and planning, through to active development and delivery on site. His work includes the delivery of a number of landmark schemes as well as contributing to the growth of the wider development pipeline.
Tom Park and Ryan Lewis have been promoted to Associate Development Director and Associate Director, respectively. Tom will concentrate on developing out Caddick’s existing industrial and logistics portfolio with a keen focus on expanding the pipeline across the North West and Midlands.
Ryan’s new role involves leading the expanding project management and technical leadership functions across the portfolio. Both Tom and Ryan are based at Caddick’s Manchester office and their new leadership roles underscore the increasing importance of the region within the business.
David Baker-Brook has also been promoted to Associate Director, leading on the promotion of new and existing sites across residential, commercial and mixed-use schemes. David is based in Birmingham, where Caddick’s construction arm has recently opened a new office. With a strong background in sustainability, he will play a key role in ensuring Caddick continues to create developments with sustainability at their heart.
Myles Hartley, Managing Director of Caddick Developments, said: “It’s been another really strong year for the developments team at Caddick, having achieved approval for the final phase of our mixed-use SOYO scheme in Leeds, as well as reaching practical completion on a number of key industrial and logistics schemes, including phase one of Farington Park in Lancashire and Leeds Valley Park. More recently, the team have been applauded by Leeds City Council councillors for our transformative South Village, Leeds proposals.
“These milestones would not be possible without the hard work of these individuals, as well as the support of the wider team, so it’s fantastic to see them recognised for the roles they have played in our journey to date.”
