  W13 Group

  Nov 2019 - Feb 2023

  Property Developer

  Co-founded and launched the acquisition and development arm of the company.With an investment stake across 3 SPVs, each of which are land assets ranging from 0.3 to 2.5 acres throughout the West Midlands & Shropshire. My role here initially was to source land opportunities to acquire, evaluate their potential for development, assess all risks associated with the land, conceptualise feasible schemes, estimate the build costs, calculate a land value based on the scheme options with appropriate contingencies in place and accounting for any CIL/S106 (approximate) payments, then finally, recommending whether an offer be put forward and what the maximum amount should be.Across all 3 sites under our ownership, all were secured without any form of planning permission in place. Not only did I play a part in sourcing and securing these plots of land, but I also helped manage them through the planning phase by guiding an in-house architect, getting quotes for and instructing the necessary surveys, meeting and discussing proposals with the LPA as well as developing financial models to maximize GDVs.

  Hemiko

  Apr 2024 - now

  Project Development Manager

  Hemiko is a fast-growing innovative business which is looking to invest in and deliver over £1bn of heat network projects in the coming years. We fund, design, build, operates and maintain low carbon district energy networks and building energy systems. This work is for communities, towns, and cities. We work with local authorities, developers, house builders, and property owners. We are looking to lead on town and city scale decarbonisation. We recognise that the decarbonisation of heating and the built environment is one of the least known and “solution clear” areas - this is where we are focused and where we will be deploying our investment and our resource.As Project Development Manager I contribute to a range of pre contract project development activities required to move a potential project lead identified by the business development team through to a technically and commercially viable project bid and eventually contract execution. This is a wide ranging role which requires sound technical ability combined with the strong commercial acumen to interpret a range of information related to heat networks including contractual, technical, legal, commercial and regulatory. Extracting the key risks and opportunities that need to be further developed to ensure projects that are taken forward to delivery are done so on a thoroughly considered footing. Show less
