Bankfoot APAM promotes Fiona Chatham to Senior Development Manager

Bankfoot APAM, the specialist UK Development Manager, is delighted to announce the promotion of Fiona Chatham to Senior Development Manager.

Chris Moore, Managing Director at Bankfoot APAM said: “Fiona has made great progress since joining the Bankfoot APAM team last summer. Her dedication and attention to detail, along with her eye for value creation, has been fundamental to the various schemes she is involved with, especially our challenging and ever evolving £500M masterplan scheme at The Gyle in Edinburgh – a hugely ambitious reimagination of the regional shopping centre to create a major mixed-use development and forming a new heart for West Edinburgh.”

“As a business, Bankfoot APAM currently have in excess of £1B of development projects under management in terms of GDV – all at varying stages of the life cycle – and we see Fiona, in her role as Senior Development Manager, as an important asset in driving the successful delivery of these hugely exciting schemes and to allow the business and team to continue to grow.”
