Bidwells hires new Partner for its Project Management team

With a wealth of experience across the education, science & technology, defence, and aerospace sectors, Clover’s appointment strengthens Bidwells’ ability to enhance its Project Management offering across the UK as it plans to double the size of the business by 2030, a goal announced by the firm earlier this year.

Clover comes from a background in delivering complex construction projects ranging up to £50m. He rejoins the company from Fulkers Bailey Russell, where he was based in their Bristol Office.

Some of the previous projects Clover has worked on include: The National Collections Centre at the Science Museum in Swindon; Epic System’s technology campus masterplan project in Long Ashton, Bristol; Shinfield Studios, New Film Studios, Reading; Chemistry Teaching Labs at The University of Oxford; Boeing’s office relocation to a site in Bristol; and the Quad Two building at Harwell Campus in Oxford.

Chris Clover, Divisional Partner at Bidwells, said:

“I am thrilled to return to Bidwells at such an exciting time for the company as it embarks on its 2030 growth strategy. I look forward to leveraging my experience in dealing with complex briefs and requirements to help expand our Project Management services and build strong, lasting client relationships.

The opportunity to cross-fertilise with the expertise of other business units at Bidwells that have driven incredible success in the UK’s most high-potential markets offers plenty of promise for the team and wider company going forward.”

Richard Todd, Head of Built Environment at Bidwells, said:

“Chris’s return marks a very exciting time for Bidwells, as we look to significantly expand the scope and remit of our business by focusing on the growth opportunities offered by the built environment’s most high-potential sectors.

Chris has fantastic expertise in this regard, having already worked on some cutting-edge projects across a variety of sectors and regions. His extensive knowledge and leadership in project management, combined with his deep understanding of sectors such as science and technology, aerospace, and defence, will be invaluable as the team bolsters its service offering.”
