Property consultancy Pick Everard has appointed Mike Petersen as its regional head of project management in Wales and the South West.

With numerous years of experience delivering residential, hotel and retail projects, Mr Petersen will be based at the consultancy's Welsh office in Cardiff.

Speaking on his new role, Mr Petersen said: "Pick Everard is well respected in the industry by its clients, delivery partners and its competitors. The idea of a multi-discipline organisation was also attractive to me in terms of its challenges and benefits and I am looking forward to helping to grow and establish Pick Everard's project management offering, particularly in Wales."

Rod Burton, partner at Pick Everard, added: "We are pleased to be welcoming Mike to the Pick Everard team. His experience and expertise will be vital in helping us to quickly achieve our goals and increase our project portfolio of creating and developing our project management structure."
