Single-family housing developer-operator Placefirst has appointed Mark Hawley, formerly of Bruntwood SciTech, to the newly created role of operations director.
At Bruntwood SciTech, Hawley held the role of operations director and led on the mobilisation of Bruntwood’s largest developments and acquisitions.
In his new role, he will implement new and optimise existing operations to ensure Placefirst’s recent rapid growth remains sustainable.
David Mawson, CEO of Placefirst, said: “Placefirst has seen remarkable growth in recent years. As we continue our transition from being a regional developer to establishing a nationwide presence, expanding our senior leadership team and refining our internal operations is essential. Mark’s proven expertise in scaling operations across both development and acquisitions will be key in ensuring we continue to grow efficiently while maintaining the quality of service our residents expect.”
Hawley added “This is a hugely exciting time to be joining the Placefirst team as their expansion across the UK progresses. With operational success being key in delivering this next phase of growth, I look forward to building on Placefirst’s existing reputation for creating and operating quality neighbourhoods.”
