Palmer will be responsible for planning promotion and will oversee the delivery of a portfolio of residential and commercial projects across the Midlands.


Palmer will be based at St. Modwen’s headquarters in Longbridge, Birmingham, whilst Stafford will be located at St. Modwen’s North West office in Warrington.


The new appointments signify St. Modwen’s commitment to expanding its commercial portfolio in the region, as well as strengthening its capability in bringing forward land for residential development.
