Placemakers, Muse, has continued its expansion in the Midlands with four new appointments.
Glyn Mutton, development director, joins the business having previously worked for Hill Group and London Land Group. Richard McMullen, senior project manager, joins from Urban & Civic, and Alex D’Angelillo, finance business partner, joins from Mercia Real Estate. Helen Spicer, will also join as a personal assistant from Woodbourne Group.
The expansion continues a rapid period of growth since Muse first launched its Midlands office in 2022. The firm is leading the delivery of some of the Midlands’ most important opportunities – including affordable homes, innovation space, workspaces, leisure, and public spaces.
ECF – Muse’s partnership with L&G and Homes England – has recently entered into a Development Agreement with West Northamptonshire Council to deliver a sustainable new neighbourhood at Greyfriars.
Habiko – Muse’s new partnership with PIC and Homes England – is also investigating potential opportunities across the Midlands region, focussed on the delivery of affordable and sustainable new homes.
The team will also support further growth following the establishment of the East Midlands Combined County Authority, working with local partners to investigate potential opportunities.
Maggie Grogan, managing director – Midlands, at Muse, said: “We are full of confidence about the future of the Midlands, as a place to invest and grow. By working together with local authorities and other regional partners, we’ve made real and tangible progress in Solihull, Wolverhampton, and West Northamptonshire.
“The expansion of our team reflects our achievements, but also the scale of future opportunity we see coming forward across the region – including in the East Midlands. We are supported by a positive and proactive public sector which wants to make things happen.
“Our delivery partners at ECF and Habiko are also convinced of the potential of this region, and together we can deliver the new homes, jobs, leisure, and public spaces our communities need.”
