We’ve added further talent to our growing team with the appointment of a new Development Director and Assistant Development Manager.

 Stuart Eustace has joined the business as Development Director having provided consultancy advice on some of the largest mixed-use development projects in Birmingham and acting on £1bn of investment transactions in the BTR space across key UK regional centres.

A former professional cricketer, Stuart has since gained a wealth of property experience across multiple disciplines working for the likes of Argent, Knight Frank and CBRE.

He will be responsible for delivering existing projects across all stages of the development process, with a particular focus on site appraisal, deal structuring and land acquisition. He will also support on our new development and investment opportunities.

Joining the Sphere team alongside Stuart is Raiany Rodrigues, the business’ new Assistant Development Manager. Having recently achieved a Master’s Degree in Architecture, Raiany will assist in the day-to-day delivery of projects from design stage feasibility, site surveys, investigations and planning, though to monitoring and reporting on contractor progress on site.

 The pair join Sphere’s new Non-Executive Director and BoardMember, Rob Bould, who was announced as part of our recent rebrand.

 Sphere CEO, Alex Neale, comments: “It’s an exciting time for the business and we’ve got some real talent on our hands with our new team members.Stuart’s experience and all-round expertise will add value across every aspect of Sphere’s projects, whilst Raiany brings fresh insight and new approaches that will benefit us no end as she learns more about the industry and the challenges we face. Their skills really complement the existing team and we can’t wait to really get going together under our new brand.”
