With the ambition to expand on the existing development management advisory division of the business, Vengrove has secured Kara Thompson, previously Head of London Project Management at Gleeds. Kara will spearhead the project management consultancy offer to existing and new clients in addition to supporting the wider development activities across Vengrove’s current and future AUM.

This milestone in Vengrove’s growth plan extends the development services offer to cover a range of consultancy services completely bespoke and tailored to the specific requirements of individual projects.

Andrew Mclean, Vengrove’s Partner & Head of Development, commented “Utilising the knowledge and experience within the existing business, coupled with Kara’s drive to meet the challenges that the industry faces with her ability to lead teams to excellence in delivery, this combination will only strengthen the Vengrove offer.”

Kara Thompson, Director & Head of Project Management, added “I feel privileged to be able to join Vengrove, a genuine forward-looking business with an exceptional team who are looking to influence positive change in the built environment and to be able to contribute to the growth ahead.”

Vengrove is currently on site with a number of high-profile developments including Film House, a 105,000 sq ft office development in Soho, on behalf of WeWork Capital Advisors, as well as EdCity which is a mixed-use scheme in White City which will deliver a selection of education facilities for all ages, as well as 96,000 sq ft of new office space and 132 affordable homes.
