People: The latest West Midlands hires

Stoford has added to its team, recruiting a land manager and a project manager.

Andy Hartwright, previously with Gladman Developments, joins as land director, a new position that will strengthen Birmingham-based Stoford’s core business.

He will identify future land opportunities, as well as expand relationships with occupiers and landowners to boost Stoford’s continued growth across the UK property market.

He is already well known to the Stoford team. Whilst at Savills he acted on behalf of AXA and Stoford on their 1m sq ft Stonebridge Cross scheme in Droitwich, as well as the Redd42 scheme in Redditch, a speculative development in partnership with Terrace Hill.

Stoford has also welcomed Simon Ganley to the team as project manager. He has more than 27 years’ experience across the construction sector, including on the contractor, developer and employers agent sides, and has previously worked at St Modwen Properties and Bespoke Construction. He will be responsible for delivering the technical, construction and procurement aspects of new developments nationwide.

Matthew Burgin, joint managing director at Stoford, said: “Despite the challenges over the past 12 months, Stoford is in a strong position to grow and we are keen to seize on the opportunities available to us by adding two senior members to the team. Both Andy and Simon have first-class professional backgrounds that are an excellent fit for our business and we’re excited to have them join the team.”
