One of Birmingham's most active property development companies has appointed a new managing director to spearhead its projects in the city.

SevenCapital has recruited Angus Michie, a former divisional chairman for national housebuilder Berkeley.

He spent 24 years with the company during which time he held a number of senior roles including founding the St Edward joint venture with M&G and establishing the group's newest brand focused on the West Midlands called St Joseph.

In his new role, Mr Michie will drive the company's residential activities and lead the business' growth strategy and expansion across Birmingham, London and the South East.

SevenCapital is behind a string of residential and commercial developments in the city including the Park Regis hotel and neighbouring St Martin's Place apartment block, in Broad Street, and the forthcoming Connaught Square scheme, in Digbeth.

Mr Michie said: "SevenCapital is a fast-growing and exciting property group that has made huge strides within the industry over the past decade, leading the way for modern residential development in Birmingham and the London peripheral.

"I am looking forward to applying my expertise and experience of driving forward industry leading projects and leading the team as we embark on the next decade of growth."
