Bellway has appointed Patrick Swallow as strategic land and planning manager for the Manchester region.
Swallow joins Bellway from Gladman where he spent three-and-a-half years working across the company’s planning and land teams. In his new role, he will be based at Bellway’s regional head office in Warrington.
Swallow said: “Experience in both land and planning has proved invaluable in helping me settle quickly into my new position and develop a clear understanding of the complex process of land acquisition through to planning determination. In my current role, I am focused on identifying and securing new strategic land opportunities to strengthen the divisional pipeline. While Bellway’s strategic land function is headquartered in Newcastle, my role is one of a small number based within a regional office, allowing me to maintain a strong on-the-ground presence.
“The position extends beyond acquisition – I am also responsible for promoting sites through the planning process, including managing applications and supporting them through to determination. This broader involvement provides a continuity, ensuring that the sites I help to secure are progressed and ultimately brought forward for delivery.”
