BWB Consulting has announced that Executive Board Director Andy Passmore has decided to step down after a remarkable 27-year career with the firm, a move described by the Board as part of a planned transition that coincides with significant growth across its West Midlands operations.
Joining as a Graduate, Andy Passmore rose through the ranks to CCO, playing a central role in strengthening our presence in the West Midlands. During his tenure, he contributed to a portfolio of major projects and developments, helping to establish our reputation as a key partner for complex regional regeneration.
Under the leadership of Simon Stanley, our momentum in the West Midlands remains strong. The team is currently supporting flagship projects such as the BBC’s new headquarters at the Tea Factory in Digbeth, alongside award-winning schemes like SPARK Walsall and Worcester Six Business Park further reinforcing our long-standing commitment to the region’s continued transformation.
As part of the continued investment in its regional offering, we have recently welcomed two strategic hires to its Birmingham operation:
- Becky Corps, Associate Director in Ground Solutions, bolstering the firm’s geotechnical and geo-environmental expertise.
- Rob Leach, Director of Building Services, strengthening BWB’s mechanical, electrical, and specialist engineering capability and supporting key city-centre development projects.
Simon said:
“Andy has built an incredible legacy, and his dedication has been fundamental to our position in the West Midlands. I’m hugely excited to join the Birmingham team. With the addition of new senior talent to the Birmingham office, we are building on this foundation to ensure that BWB remains the trusted partner for our clients. This is a period of real opportunity for the region, and BWB is committed to being at the heart of it.”
CEO Graham Sant commented:
“Andy has made an extraordinary contribution to BWB over nearly three decades, and we are genuinely sad to see him go. His leadership, relationships, and commercial insight have shaped both the business and our presence in the West Midlands. This is a carefully managed transition, and Andy leaves us in a strong position with real momentum in the region. As we move into the next phase of our long-term strategy, we remain firmly committed to supporting our clients and continuing our growth.”
Reflecting on his career, Andy Passmore said:
“It’s been a privilege to share in BWB’s journey and immensely rewarding to witness the business flourish into the national consultancy it is today. Our West Midlands clients have always held a special place in our story, and I leave with considerable pride knowing this talented Birmingham team will continue to thrive under Simon’s leadership. I’m grateful for all the friendships I’ve made and have no doubt that BWB’s brightest days are still ahead.”
