St Modwen makes major projects hire

St Modwen has appointed Rob Flavell as head of major projects for the Midlands and North.

He joins from Turner & Townsend’s Birmingham office, where he directed major regeneration projects and initiatives including the £1bn Birmingham Gateway and Grand Central; the £700m Paradise Birmingham; and the £500m Axis Square commercial office scheme.

St Modwen is aiming to double its industrial and logistics pipeline and buy in new regeneration projects.

The company has also promoted Ian Romano, its former development director, to the position of head of commercial for the Midlands and North. He has been at the firm since 2004, when he joined from Prologis.

Richard Hickman, former senior planning manager, has also been promoted to planning director.

Guy Gusterson, property director – Midlands and North, said: “Our experience and expertise give us an unmatched ability to bring complex, strategic sites forward to create value. Rob’s appointment and Ian and Richard’s promotions are key as we accelerate our developments pipeline.”
