EDGE Birmingham Welcomes New Director

EDGE is excited to announce the appointment of Joe Vale as a new Director in the Birmingham office.

Joe joins us with more than a decade of experience in forming relationships, developing strategies, and driving solutions. He adds to our diverse collection of experts united to maximise potential within the built environment, advancing sectors, places, and people. This appointment is part of our ongoing strategy to deliver cost-effective solutions to projects that make a meaningful impact.

As we continue to pair capabilities across our offices, there is a growing emphasis on sector-specific insights and regional capacity. Joe will contribute to this by demonstrating his expertise across the commercial, industrial, residential, and education sectors.

Joe said: “In my view, the key to delivering valuable services and successful cost and project management is honesty. Telling the hard truth is more challenging than simply saying what people want to hear.

“When combined with excellent technical service delivery, this approach allows the opportunity to lead ethically and with integrity ensuring that the best advice and guidance is provided, thereby driving successful outcomes across the public and private sector.

“Project and cost management services are vital when it comes to the delivery of a large-scale framework. Being involved in a project’s life cycle is instrumental to its success. From inception through to completion, monitoring procurement, involvement in master-planning, feasibility costs, and onsite delivery.”

EDGE is growing at an exponential rate with a variety of project needs across multiple sectors. To meet this demand, there is further ambition to continue to invest in exceptional talent in order to make a positive impact on the built environment.

As the landscape of development continues to change and shift its priorities, EDGE will continue to provide industry leading services, helping clients navigate the complexities of their building projects.

Lee Simmonite, Director at EDGE, said: “Joe’s appointment is a significant milestone towards scaling up our operations as we continue to grow and invest in talent across all of our office locations – with several prospective major projects in the pipeline. Our senior leadership team has decades of experience in construction and property, remaining hands on, personally guiding all work to completion.

“We know that Joe will be a brilliant addition to the diverse mix of staff that contribute to our success, playing a vital role in evolving our processes and strategies. With momentum building and a pipeline of growth in Birmingham across a range of sectors, we look forward to what will be a poignant time in the regions landscape.”
