Muse bolsters senior team
Stuart Rogers has taken on a national role at the regeneration specialist, becoming operations director. Meanwhile in the North West office, Alan McBride has become director of project management, Max Bentham has been promoted to director of development management, and Sarah Chicken has been appointed senior development manager.
“We’re delighted to announce these promotions,” said Phil Marsden, the managing director for Muse in the North West.
“They are testament to the dedication and contribution that these individuals have made to supporting our success in the region. I would like to personally congratulate each of them, and I look forward to continuing to work with them during this exciting period for us.”
Marsden added: “The promotions are also reflective of Muse’s long-standing commitment to career development within the company. This is something which is an integral reason behind our continued success, not just in the North West, but nationwide.”
Rogers’s national operations director is a newly created position at Muse. As part of his role, he will be looking at optimising the company’s day-to-day operations. His promotion follows from being named director of project management for the North West two years ago.
Regarding his new post, he said: “Our business priority has always been about delivery, and I am looking forward to not only continuing to support the excellent team in the North West, but those across the country, who have been working hard with our national and local partners to progress visions.”
He continued: “It is important that as we look to deliver against these ambitions, and that we are genuinely meeting the needs of the communities and enabling long-term social and economic growth.”
Muse’s pipeline is valued at £6.3bn.
Stuart led on the JV in the early days of Prestwich Village and set a strong example of how to engage properly with residents. He listened, responded and worked with the community in a way that felt close to true co governance.
Since his departure, that level of engagement has been noticeably absent. Residents have not felt heard in the same way, and opportunities for meaningful dialogue have been missed.
His move nationally l will no doubt be a gain elsewhere, but it is a significant loss for the people of Prestwich.

How much of that make believe pipeline value is dependent upon grant funding?

Its not make believe funding – if you look which developers and organisations are pursuing these funds that have been recently announced – its very real. Manchester seem very much ahead on these devolved funds.
