Developments team at Caddick grows with new generation of leaders

Caddick, the leading, privately-owned property and construction business has made a number of promotions within its developments team as its project portfolio grows and it expands into new regions.

Helen Gardner has been promoted to group legal director, taking a role on the board and continuing to spearhead the organisation’s growing legal team. Based at Caddick’s headquarters, she will be implementing a cohesive national strategy for the Group and ensuring efficiencies across the business.

Alistair Smith has been promoted to director, focusing on delivering Caddick’s industrial and logistics pipeline across Yorkshire, facilitating active development onsite, including on a number of landmark sheds schemes, as well as contributing to the growth of the wider pipeline.

Tom Park and Ryan Lewis have been promoted to associate development director and associate director, respectively. Tom will be focused on strategic asset management, as well as the expansion of Caddick’s industrial and logistics pipeline in the North West. Ryan’s new role involves leading the expanding project management and technical leadership functions across the portfolio. Both Tom and Ryan are based at Caddick’s Manchester office and their new leadership roles underscore the increasing importance of the region within the business.

Myles Hartley, managing director said: “It’s been another really strong year for the developments team, having achieved approval for the final phase of our mixed-use SOYO scheme in Leeds, as well as reaching practical completion on a number of key schemes including phase one of Farington Park in Lancashire and Leeds Valley Park. More recently, the team have been applauded by Leeds City Council councillors for our transformative South Village, Leeds proposals.

“These milestones would not be possible without the hard work of these individuals, as well as the support of the wider team, so it’s fantastic to see them recognised for the roles they have played in our journey to date.”
