Multidisciplinary construction consultancy Pick Everard has
appointed Deborah Rose as the new Head of Development Services.
The appointment was planned as part of the firm's strategic
growth of services, in line with the government's drive for
effective relationships between public and private sectors,
ensuring assets and limited funds are used more effectively through
reduced costs and increased efficiencies.
Duncan Green, Pick Everard Partner, is delighted to welcome
Deborah who joins from Leicester City Council where she was head of
major development. He explains, "With extensive public sector
experience at a strategic level on major development projects,
Deborah's in-depth knowledge of best practice will enhance our
services for public and private sector clients, helping them to
achieve successful planning and development scheme
outcomes".
The practice was recently appointed sole national provider
within the £10m Scape framework for project management and
quantity surveying, allowing public sector bodies, including
central and local government, the NHS and police, to buy services
quickly and efficiently at competitive rates. Pick Everard is also
a Government Procurement Service supplier, an exclusive project
management and design team framework giving public sector clients
access to a full range of consultancy, design and technical skills
across the build process.
Deborah joins Pick Everard after ten years spearheading a raft
of key regeneration projects with Leicester City Council, unlocking
the potential of brownfield sites and helping to transform the
city's townscape. These included the masterplanning of the
Strategic Regeneration Area and leading the regeneration of the
city's Waterside, Cultural and Heritage quarters, Abbey Meadows and
Leicester Market.
A land management graduate of De Montfort University in 1988 and
with a post-graduate diploma in urban design, Deborah has
previously worked in both private and public sectors, including
Allcock & Grieves architects and Leicester and Gloucester City
Councils. She joined Leicester City Council in 2001 as Urban Design
Team Leader, appointed as head of major development in 2007.
Duncan Green added, "Deborah's commitment, drive and enthusiasm
are valuable assets and we're looking forward to the successful
accomplishment of future projects".
