GVA has promoted Craig Alsbury to head of planning, development and regeneration in the Midlands.
Alsbury will oversee a new combined department, which brings together the two planning and regeneration teams, based in Birmingham. He will look to grow this team, which currently has 21 staff.
Alsbury has been at GVA for 20 years and his new role follows the retirement of former joint head Stephen Hollowood.
Alsbury said: “Historically it made sense to operate two teams out of our Midlands office and we have been extremely successful working that way. But the old structure has become less relevant with time and we have an opportunity now to do things differently and better.
“Coupled with the impending Avison Young merger and our upcoming move into a new, contemporary and fully agile office space at Brindleyplace, we couldn’t be doing this at a better time.”
GVA’s Midlands clients include: Homes England, Hortons Estate, Jelson Homes, Trebor Developments, Taylor Wimpey, and the University of Birmingham, which is undergoing a £300m regeneration on its 9.9-acre Life Sciences Park.
