PMP makes senior appointment to spearhead project management growth in Manchester

We are delighted to announce that we have appointed a new Projects Director to spearhead growth plans in Manchester.

This year, PMP reported an increase in growth in its turnover to £5.7million – an increase of over 24% year-on-year – with performance driven from across all office bases throughout the UK.

To build on this success, PMP’s Manchester base has recruited Michelle Richardson to head up its new project management team in Manchester.  PMP provides building surveying, cost management and project management throughout the UK and employs 50 staff.

Richardson boasts more than 20 years of experience in the property sector, including a long stint at Deloitte Real Estate and more recent roles at Motion Project Management, and Property Alliance Group.

Originally from an architectural background, Richardson’s skillset lies in understanding entire lifecycles of projects across various sizes, values, and sectors. She offers extensive planning and programming knowledge, as well as senior leadership capabilities.

Michelle will oversee PMP’s range of project management briefs, working with its national client base including Royal London and Marks and Spencer, marking a new chapter for PMP Manchester, which has just celebrated its best year in business.

The regional team, headed up by director Ben Walker, has witnessed increased demand for project management services in the North West after a string of multi-million-pound project wins.

This includes a £5M cladding scheme in Ancoats and a £2M office refurbishment in Spinningfields.

Ben Walker, Executive Director at PMP, said: “Introducing a project team in Manchester has proven to be a natural next step for us after a very successful business period.

“Welcoming Michelle to the team is a huge win, as she’s renowned in the industry for being a trusted and reliable expert in project management. I speak for the entire team when I say we’re excited to have Michelle with us and look forward to growing a team to support her.”

Michelle Richardson, Projects Director at PMP, said: “It’s an exciting time to join PMP in Manchester. Our client base is growing rapidly, and with this, so is the demand for a full suite of services. The North West property market is booming, meaning there are so many opportunities for project management firms to excel.”
