Project management firm L+M formed by Paul Daniels and Nigel Clarke along with former Buro Four director Geoff Heppell
Two former directors at Sweett Group and a former Buro Four director are to lead a new development and construction firm.
The joint venture business, Leadership and Management Ltd (L+M), will lead and manage construction and property projects, and is run by former Sweett directors Paul Daniels and Nigel Clarke along with Geoff Heppell, formerly a director of Buro Four, who will be the non-executive chairman.
The group has been launched by Hamilton Bradshaw Real Estate (HBRE), a venture capital firm which invests in property related entrepreneurs and is led by Faisal Butt and former Dragons Den dragon James Caan.
In a statement, L+M said its construction, fit out, refurbishment and development services would include 鈥渄evelopment consultancy, project management, project planning, cost leadership, building surveying, health and safety consulting and asset management鈥 across the whole capital expenditure period of a project.
Daniels, the founder and managing director at L+M, said: 鈥淲ith the skillsets and experience in our team, we will build upon our established reputation for being 鈥榩roject-makers鈥.
鈥淟+M鈥檚 services will shaped by the things our clients value so even when they鈥檙e not sure of exactly how to achieve their business goals, they trust us to create a solution that fits their requirements.
鈥淲e鈥檝e already started work on a number of high profile retail schemes and expect this to continue to be a strong sector for us. Many retail schemes were put on hold during the recession and now there鈥檚 a shortage of good stock that meets retailers requirements.
鈥満蒙壬鶷V upon our presence in the retail sector, we will enter a number of other markets including luxury private and multi-unit residential, commercial offices, and hotels and leisure. We will achieve this by attracting the very highest talent and rewarding them well.

Caan, HBRE chairman, said: 鈥淟+M fits our strategy of investing in exciting new property businesses that complement each other and bring something new to the platform. In Paul, Nigel and Geoff we have backed a vastly experienced team with a proven track record so I have every confidence that they will hit the ground running. With outstanding technical competence in their ranks, L+M will bring inspirational leadership and intelligent management to projects that far exceed client expectations.鈥
