Caddick Construction has taken on Jason Clarke to fill the role of design director, a newly created role for the company
Caddick Construction have announced that they have taken on Jason Clarke as the new design director.
The role of design director is newly created for the company, as it seeks to expand its expertise.
Caddick Construction’s design director has unique responsibilities
Jason will lead the company’s business design function, with a focus on the Building Safety Act, while also working on the future of the company’s design management capability, quality, and regulation in Yorkshire and across the North East.
Clarke said: “My relationship with Caddick spans many years having worked with their fantastic teams during my time at DLA, helping to design and deliver several of their most high-profile schemes in the region, such as Headingley Stadium in Leeds and Vangarde Retail Park in York. More recently this has included their new state-of-the-art headquarters at Calder House in Wakefield, where I will now be based in my new role.
“Using the ever-changing legislative landscape as a framework for change, I look forward to bringing my previous experiences, perhaps offering a slightly different perspective, to help shape the design and delivery narrative at Caddick. I look forward to working with the team to streamline design, procurement and construction to adjust to meet tighter standards, offering reassurance to clients and other stakeholders alike.”
Jason’s experience will be a boon for the company
Jason brings with him 30 years of experience working as a director at DLA Architecture, working in various sectors, and delivered many successful schemes such as Leeds Central Square and Hyatt Hotel, and Trinity Walk in Wakefield.
Steve Ford, regional managing director at Caddick Construction: “As a client, having worked closely with Jason for over a decade now on numerous schemes, I have seen firsthand the level of technical rigour, quality and engagement that he strives for. He will add huge value building and leading a strong team as the Caddick business continues to grow and we continue to invest to attract the very best talent. With his unique perspective of independent architectural consultancy, Jason’s presence in our team will allow us to evolve our offer through early design engagement and output, which will be invaluable for our clients.“
