Zerum strengthens team as it kicks off new year with project wins

Leeds and Manchester-based multi-disciplinary property and construction consultancy Zerum Group is starting the new year on a high after securing several new transpennine clients and announcing two senior appointments.

Following project wins in Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester, Zerum’s expansion continues with the appointment of Pheobe Threlfall (pictured below) as associate director in planning and the promotion of Luke Bishop (main picture) to projects director in the project management team.

These additions to the team come after a successful 12 months for Zerum and a number of recent high-profile new contract wins including Blacklight’s recent acquisition of the Devon Street student accommodation scheme, in Liverpool; a 700-unit build-to-rent scheme in Leeds; Scarborough Development Group and Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust’s new Health Technology Innovation Hub in Leeds; and several development opportunities in Manchester City Centre in conjunction with Relentless Developments.
Nikki Sills, planning partner, said: “We’re delighted to add Phoebe to the team, which strengthens our planning offering even further following several recent hires. Phoebe has an excellent background in delivering and assisting on major mixed-use schemes, which will be of great value to our wide and varied client base in the North of England and beyond.”
Founded in 2013, Zerum Group operates nationally via its offices located in Manchester and Leeds. The company undertakes consultancy services offering planning; development management; project management; cost management; and highways and sustainable travel services.
Andrew Duffy, partner, said: “Zerum enjoyed a hugely successful 2024 and we are very pleased to be starting the year with a whole host of high-profile projects and to be further strengthening our team.
“I’m delighted to promote Luke to the position of projects director in recognition for his hard work and dedication, specifically in leading the delivery of the prestigious St. Michael’s development in Manchester City Centre.  Luke’s promotion reflects our drive to reward leadership and professionalism that is crucial to ensure we maintain the highest standard across the Zerum businesses.”
