8build has hired industry heavyweight Steve Davies as divisional director to spearhead its expansion in commercial refurbishment and sustainable retrofit projects in London.
Davies, who has held senior roles at Collins Construction and Structure Tone London, brings more than 37 years’ experience working on landmark schemes including Buckingham Palace, The Shard and the Walkie Talkie.
Over the past decade, he has built a reputation delivering complex retrofits for blue-chip owners such as The Crown Estate, Grosvenor, AXA, Frogmore and Shaftesbury.
8build is targeting £200m turnover by the end of the year on the back of a strong pipeline of commercial and cultural projects, including work for St Martins at More London, British Land’s Paddington Central Amphitheatre, and Delfont Mackintosh’s Victoria Palace Theatre.
Davies will lead a new London-focused division delivering Grade A space for an undersupplied market, with a specialist team in fit-out, refurbishment and heritage buildings.
8build director Andy Tooley said: “Steve’s appointment charts an exciting new phase for our commercial retrofit division in London, where we see a huge unmet need for high-quality execution.
“With his breadth of experience delivering high-profile projects for exceptional clients and his deep understanding of retrofit demand, Steve will add materially to our growth plans going forward as we broaden our client book and our strong pipeline of sustainable projects.”
