Sheffield Property Association seeks next chair
S-PA, the body dedicated to enhancing Sheffield’s built environment, is looking for somebody to step into the shoes of the outgoing Martin McKervey and spearhead its next phase of growth.
Since its inception in 2017, the S-PA has sought to drive investment, opportunity, and prosperity for the city and its surrounds.
The voluntary role requires one to two days of commitment per month for a term of three years, with the option to stay on for a further three years and is open to all interested parties, with a deadline of 13 September.
S-PA focuses on supporting, celebrating, and promoting Sheffield, strengthening the city’s communities through continuous collaboration with land-owning and development businesses.
The group said the new chair will lead the board through its next phase of growth and development, building networks and partnerships for the directors, priority groups and S-PA members.
As a key ambassador for the S-PA, the individual must be a strong communicator and have a talent for discovering projects and initiatives at local, regional, and national levels.
The S-PA has already brought together more than 80 companies in the Sheffield region as part of their membership. Everyone involved shares a vision to improve Sheffield’s built environment, drive investment and prosperity, build strong relationships with stakeholders and partners, and inspire young people about career opportunities in the city.
Tim Bottrill, a director of S-PA, said: “It’s wonderful to see all that we have accomplished so far at the Sheffield Property Association, particularly our events that unite our members to celebrate and discuss the work we are doing.
“Our outgoing chair, Martin McKervey, has been exceptional in his role and has served as the board’s central point of contact for official communication with us and the Priority Groups.
“We look forward to welcoming our next chair to continue this dedication, as they will play an important role in leading our board meetings, encouraging all members to continue their participation and support our vision, as well as championing the S-PA across a diverse stakeholder group.”
