BNP Paribas Real Estate today announced that Tom Stanley has been appointed as national head of development & planning as part of the firm’s strategy to capture increasing demand for infrastructure and regeneration project support across the UK.
Tom will complement BNP Paribas Real Estate’s existing team totalling 65 people by bringing together the development land and planning functions. He will be based in London and will work closely with Caroline McDade, head of national planning; Paul Nicholls, Head of London development; Julian Gaynor, head of development and strategic land agency; Anthony Lee, UK head of development viability and affordable housing, and Kevin Hunt, head of Bristol planning, who was recruited earlier this year.
Tom joins following over 5 years at Knight Frank, where he held the role of regional head of development land and planning, heading up its South West team, and served as a regional board member. In addition to his work in the South West, he has had a wider remit to lead larger national projects and has extensive experience of bringing forward strategic land opportunities, operating across all sectors including city centre regeneration and infrastructure projects.
