Kelly started his new role this month having joined from Goodwin, and his previous jobs include a development management role at Select Property, and at Mace as a project manager in the consultant’s Manchester team.

At Zerum, Kelly will work on the St Michael’s scheme, where Zerum is acting as project manager.
