Walker Sime, a renowned construction consultancy known for its multidisciplinary approach, has proudly launched its specialised Regen Delivery service. This initiative is a direct response to the increasing call for regeneration projects, spurred on by government-backed funding opportunities such as Levelling Up, Town Deal, Future High Street, and Sustainable Transport Settlement Funds.
Designed to facilitate Local Authorities and Private Developers in advancing regeneration projects that aim to enhance the fabric of towns, cities, and neighbourhoods throughout the UK, the service will be under the expert guidance of Cathy Palmer, who steps in as Director of Regeneration Delivery.
Cathy’s extensive experience in driving regenerative projects that have a lasting positive effect on communities, particularly highlighted by her role in the transformative project in Birkenhead at Wirral Council, underscores her passion for community-focused regeneration. This, combined with Walker Sime’s recent involvement in projects like Rochdale Town Centre, Liverpool Waters, Eureka!, Wirral Waterfront, and Stockport 8, brings a depth of regeneration expertise and a solid record of project completions to the service.
Cathy’s leadership will focus on developing significant mixed-use projects that rejuvenate areas, making them more vibrant and attractive places to live, work, and visit.
The Regen Delivery service promises a broad array of support, including but not limited to project initiation, crafting investment plans, formulating delivery strategies, developing business cases, providing grant funding guidance, overseeing governance, aiding in bid processes, strategising procurement, planning projects, and managing risks. This wide-reaching service scope positions the Regen Delivery service by Walker Sime as a formidable entity in the regeneration field.
Benefiting from the expertise of Walker Sime’s specialist teams in Quantity Surveying, Project Management, Cost Management, Employers Agent, and Bills of Quantities, the Regen Delivery service offers a comprehensive solution to clients dealing with the challenges of regeneration projects.
Cathy shared her excitement about leading the new service: “I am excited to lead the Regeneration Delivery service at Walker Sime and look forward to collaborating with Local Authorities and Private Developers to bring about transformative change in communities.
We are already seeing significant interest from a number of authorities, and I am confident that our expertise and comprehensive approach will help drive successful regeneration initiatives in our communities.”
