Regeneration specialist Harworth Group has appointed James Crow (pictured) to the new role of head of mixed tenure.
Reporting to chief operating officer Andrew Blackshaw, Crow will be responsible for broadening Harworth’s residential product range. The resi range was identified as one of the key growth drivers in the firm’s recently-announced strategy to double the size of its business over the next five to seven years.
Initially, Crow will oversee the development of a portfolio of up to 2,000 mixed-tenure units, with an initial seed portfolio of up to 600 single-family units launching in 2022.
Crow joins from ENGIE Regeneration, where he was head of investments and development management. He was responsible for developing partnerships and securing inward investment from funding partners for ENGIE’s land holdings, most notably for its 2,300-home Rugeley Power Station regeneration scheme. Crow joined ENGIE following its acquisition of Keepmoat Regeneration, which he joined in 2017 as director of PRS and residential Investments. Prior to this, Crow held development roles in Balfour Beaty Investment’s student and build-to-rent products portfolio and Quintain’s iQ Student Accommodation business.
Harworth chief executive Lynda Shillaw said Crow’s appoint was “key to our growth strategy, and he’ll play a fundamental role in delivering our purpose of creating sustainable places where people want to live and work”.
