U+I<\/a> has appointed Mike Hood to its new senior management team, which will drive regeneration projects as the UK economy recovers from the Covid-19 crisis<\/h2>\n

Mike Hood has been appointed to the role of director of development and joins U+I from Capital & Counties Properties PLC<\/a>\u00a0(Capco).<\/p>\n

Hood brings with him a wealth of experience in delivering high-quality, complex developments working in partnership, having held senior leadership roles in a wide range of projects in London including the master planning of Earls Court<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His appointment comes after the developer secured planning consent for Landmark Court in Southwark<\/a>, a joint venture partnership with TfL.<\/p>\n

The arrival at U+I follows the rollout of an efficiency programme designed to cut overhead costs and deliver a leaner operation ready to play its part in the UK\u2019s recovery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mike Hood will join Martyn Evans (creative director), Mark Richardson (director of delivery) and Malcolm Hockaday (director of planning) on a new senior management team that will run day-to-day operations of the company, reporting to the PLC board.<\/p>\n

Regeneration schemes<\/h3>\n

U+I is currently actively seeking development sites, either in partnership with the public sector or smaller private developers, as it looks to bolster its pipeline of transformative regeneration schemes.<\/p>\n

The business has also recently submitted plans for Morden Wharf<\/a>, a major regeneration scheme on Greenwich Peninsula that will comprise a new public park, 1,500 new homes and commercial, retail and employment space.<\/p>\n

Social and economic value<\/h3>\n

Richard Upton, chief development officer of U+I, said: \u201cAt a time when U+I\u2019s portfolio of large, mixed-use Public-Private Partnership<\/a> schemes is perfectly placed to deliver on a growth-from-recovery agenda led by the Government and local authorities across the country, Mike\u2019s arrival at U+I could not be better timed.<\/p>\n

\u201cMike is an exceptional developer with vision and an extraordinarily good pedigree who will galvanise our regeneration team, creating a single purpose with their colleagues across our delivery, finance and acquisitions teams.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mike Hood said: \u201cI\u2019m very excited to be joining the U+I team who have a proven track record of creating and delivering public and social value alongside economic value.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking together we have a fantastic opportunity to drive the business forward from a strong base with a clear strategic plan to generate significant value for shareholders whilst holding true to our core belief that development must deliver at a local scale, putting people and communities first.\u201d<\/p>\n
