Property developer strengthens Midlands team
Just weeks after relocating to Birmingham, Henry Davidson Developments (HDD) has strengthened its team in the city with the appointment of two experienced directors.
Graeme Cosgrove and Kevin Foster have joined the ambitious property developers ahead of what promises to be a busy 2018 for the business.
Scott Davidson, managing director of HDD, said: “To welcome two directors of Graeme and Kevin’s calibre is a great boost to us at a time when we are establishing ourselves in Birmingham and winning new projects on a regular basis. They will reinforce our position as leading developers in retail-led schemes here in the Midlands and right across the country.”
Mr Cosgrove has more than 27 years’ experience in commercial property across the retail, residential, and leisure sectors, having held a number of director roles at companies including national property consultancy Savills, in Birmingham, Wilson Bowden City Homes, in Leicester, and more recently at Lincoln-based Simons Group where he was group director of development.
Notable projects he led while at Simons Group included managing delivery of the £13m Portsmouth Retail Park, the £8m Trinity Retail Park at Chipping Norton, and a £25m retail park at Tonbridge, Kent.
Kevin Foster
Mr Foster joins as project director, having built up more than 25 years’ experience in commercial property across the retail, residential, hotel and office sectors, most recently at boutique hotel operator Cathedral Hotels.
He has held development director and director roles at a number of companies, including asset management company Corum Investment Advisers and national property consultancy Jones Lang LaSalle, and has worked on key projects, such as Bullring Birmingham on behalf of Hammerson and The Birmingham Alliance, Market Buildings in Guernsey on behalf of a private client, and JS Developments on behalf of J Sainsbury.
HDD recently relocated its headquarters from Nottingham to offices at Birmingham’s St Philip’s Point, to capitalise on the city’s booming commercial property market and to provide a strong platform for growth as it expands its operations.
