Former Arcadis Partner Stuart Dick has joined Genr8 as the Manchester based developer prepares to deliver more than £100 million of development over the next two years.
Construction is expected to start in October at Rochdale Riverside, Genr8’s 200,000 sq ft retail and leisure scheme. This week the company also received a reserved matters planning approval for a 140 bed Hilton Garden Inn, due to start on site before the end of 2017, at its £170m Smithfield, Stoke-on-Trent development. A public consultation on the next phase at Smithfield, a build to rent scheme, will begin in the coming weeks.
Having previously been responsible for overseeing the delivery of Capita’s project management services throughout the North West of England, Stuart left to open Christal Management’s Manchester office in 2006. Arcadis subsequently acquired Christal in 2014 and Stuart once again became responsible for the delivery of all of Arcadis’ Project Management Services throughout the North West.
Over the past 25 years, Stuart has successfully delivered projects for clients such as Manchester City Council, the University of Manchester and Manchester Airports Group, as well helping clients such as BAE Systems and Newbury Racecourse conceive, and then build out, masterplans in excess of £300 million respectively.
Genr8 Partner, Mike Smith commented,
“Stuart joining us represents a very significant appointment for the business and a boost to our in-house delivery capability. Stuart’s unrivalled experience in delivering complex schemes, alongside his extensive market knowledge and contacts, will help us to direct future business strategy and allow us to provide a complete range of development and development management services.”
Stuart Dick newly appointed Development Director at Genr8 Developments added:
“Having worked for both contractor and consultant, the move ‘client side’ is a natural progression for me and I hope to bring an additional perspective to Genr8’s offer. The public sector in particular is seeking new ways to deliver development, often through direct investment, and we believe it is vital for us to be able to provide a full range of development services.”
