Midlands-based IM Properties (IMP) has appointed a new project director to help take forward a growing number of warehousing and distribution sites.
Andy Reynolds joins from from independent property and construction practice, Rider Levett Bucknall, where he was a Partner.
Having worked at the practice since the late 1980s, part of Mr Reynolds’ role was acting as a consultant to IMP and he has gained significant experience working on some of the company’s biggest Midlands based projects including Birch Coppice, Solihull Business Park and The Hub.
Jason Jasper, UK project director at IMP, says that Mr Reynolds’ considerable experience in warehousing and distribution shed delivery was extremely appealing and will make him a valuable asset to the company as it moves forward.
“Andy has almost 30 years experience working on major warehousing and distribution sites – a significant focus of our future growth plans. With a number of new schemes currently under offer we needed to ensure that we have a dedicated in-house project director in place to oversee these developments.
“Not only does Andy have extensive knowledge of this type of development but, having acted as a consultant to IMP for many years, he also has extensive knowledge of our company and the way we work. This is invaluable and we’re delighted to have him on board.”
Andy says that the chance to work in-house doesn’t arise very often in the industry and so when the chance arose, it was too good an offer to turn down.
“Having been at my previous company since graduating University, it was going to take something pretty special to entice me away.
“I’ve worked alongside IMP for a number of years and when this opportunity arose I knew that it was the right fit for me. The company’s ambition and investment plans are extremely exciting and its ethos has always been appealing and inspiring.
“It’s nice to be surrounded by familiar faces and I’m really looking forward to getting stuck into some major projects in the coming weeks.”
IM Properties, based in Coleshill, is one of the largest privately owned property groups in the UK, with an investment and development portfolio of circa. £900 million across the UK, Europe and US.
