On the move: the latest East Midlands hires
Faithful+Gould, the project and programme management consultancy, has strengthened its Nottingham office with two new senior appointments.
Neil Walker has joined as director, leading the office at Broadgate House in Beeston. Having extensive experience with the private sector, he has worked on numerous commercial, residential and hotel projects in the UK and Middle East, as well as universities, hospitals and with a number of other public sector clients.
“The East Midlands is a vibrant region and I’m excited about joining Faithful+Gould and working to help drive the Nottingham office forward,” said Walker. “This is somewhat of a homecoming for me as I joined this office for four years after finishing university before moving to work for EC Harris and Arcadis in Nottingham, Birmingham, Abu Dhabi and London.”
Tom Wallbank has joined Faithful+Gould’s Nottingham office as regional director, where he will lead and grow the commercial property team.
Wallbank, whose experience majors on commercial development, but also includes food retailing, higher education, utilities and pharmaceutical projects, previously worked across the Sheffield, Nottingham, London and Amsterdam offices of Turner & Townsend.
“Faithful+Gould has an excellent reputation both nationally and regionally in commercial services and I’m eager to be involved, helping to lead and grow the teams to bring us even more success going forward,” said Wallbank.
