Asset management consultancy, Imagile Professional Services Limited (IPSL), has announced a trio of new hires as it looks to embark on another period of growth in 2020.
Ben Forward has been appointed to the role of ‘Sector Head of Construction Delivery – South’ and will focus on ISPL’s projects in the South of England, with the company seeking to expand its offering in the region.
Ben brings a wealth of project management experience to IPSL, having worked in a number of key roles over the last 12 years. He will be responsible for overseeing the firm’s entire southern Construction Delivery service and managing all the employees within the south.
After graduating from The University of the West of England in 2002, Ben went on to work for a number of key companies, including Telereal Trillium, Engie and, most recently, Interserve.
Already looking to the future, Ben said “I’m incredibly excited to take on this new role at IPSL and be a part of its exciting and ambitious plans for 2020 and beyond. Without question, people are the integral part of any business, so I intend to focus on bringing the entire southern construction delivery team together.
“On a personal note, this an exciting new challenge for me and I’m thrilled to get stuck into the new role. There’s so much to learn, but I’m confident I can work alongside the other sector heads to build on IPSL’s brilliant reputation and results.”
Philippa Kilgallon has joined the team as a SHE Advisor. Philippa’s role promotes excellence in professional practice and design, which includes construction health and safety risk management, helping key duty holders to manage risk and implement Construction, (Design and Management) Regulations and Building Regulations effectively and proportionately across the firm’s construction projects throughout the UK. This is achieved by setting standards, raising performance, providing guidance, educating and training, all while working in partnership with key stakeholders.
Finally, Bethan Gowling has secured the role of Assistant Lifecyle Manager. Bethan will help to strengthen and support IPSL’s growing lifecycle planning team and will be based at the firm’s Daresbury office. Thanks to ever-improving technology, more efficient solutions coming to market and a growing focus on holistic environmental considerations, there’s more interest in lifecycle planning than ever before. With more organisations realising the importance of quality lifecycle management, particularly in driving holistic value from infrastructure investment, IPSL is growing its team of experts to meet industry demands.
Luke Body, Managing Director of IPSL, said “I’m thrilled to announce these three new additions to our expanding team. It’s certainly an exciting time to join us and Ben, Philippa and Bethan all bring something unique and progressive to their new roles.
“This year is already shaping up to be a great one and each of our new recruits has an integral role to play within their departments. I’m excited to continue expanding our services in the South and delivering exceptional results for clients.”
IPSL was established in 2017 and has gone from strength to strength ever since, hitting several huge company milestones, including delivering £4million of work across schools in summer 2019 and creating one of the UK’s first ever Handback pannel to steer the handback of the first wave of PFI projects within the Semperian Capital Investment Partners portfolio.
Due to an increasing number of new clients, IPSL continues to invest in expanding its team, helping to facilitate future growth plans.
