EDGE, a multi-disciplinary property and construction consultancy, has appointed Oliver Hatton as director at its Nottingham headquarters.
An accredited RICS Chartered Project Manager, Oliver brings over a decade of experience in the built environment sector, having progressed from assistant project manager to director at national consultancy Pick Everard.
During his time there, he was instrumental in growing the Nottingham office and led significant initiatives for regional public sector clients. These included Nottingham’s landmark Broadmarsh regeneration project, which delivered a vibrant new southern gateway to the city centre – featuring high-quality public realm, improved transport hubs and a new central library.
In his new role at EDGE, Oliver will focus on strategic project delivery and client engagement, bringing deep regional expertise and leadership to support the company’s continued growth. He sees major opportunity in helping organisations adapt underutilised estates – particularly in the public sector and higher education – driven by shifts in working patterns and mounting pressure to decarbonise.
Commenting on his appointment, Oliver said: “I’m thrilled to be joining EDGE at such an exciting time for the business.
“The growth over recent years has been truly impressive, but what really stands out is how intentional and considered it’s been – investing in great people, exemplar office environments, and embracing innovation.
“EDGE has retained a strong ‘one team’ culture, with senior leadership that’s visible and genuinely hands-on with both staff and clients. It’s a business with high standards and a clear vision, and I’m incredibly excited for this next chapter in my career.”
Geoff Tindsley, regional director at EDGE Nottingham, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Oliver to the team. His knowledge of the region and proven ability to lead complex, high-profile projects make him a hugely valuable addition. He’s very highly regarded across the East Midlands and will play a key role in both our regional leadership and national growth.”
