Phil McKiernan - Pulse Associates

Phil McKiernan has been appointed by leading multi-disciplinary property consultancy Pulse Associates to lead its new Leicester office that will officially open later this month.

Phil has more than 25 years’ experience within the property industry, specialising in cost management with expertise in project management – and joins Pulse at an exciting time for the business.

The firm, which has recently taken on premises in De Montfort Street, has ambitious plans for growth across the Midlands and further afield over the coming months. Phil will lead the new office and will be looking to leverage his expertise and experience of

working with national and international clients across sectors including retail, education, banking, commercial development, automotive manufacturing and social housing.

He said: “The East Midlands and in particular Leicester, has huge potential and I am very excited to be taking on this new role where I will be able to help clients to maximise the potential of this thriving city and raise its profile nationally and internationally.

“I am really looking forward to being able to have that personal touch with clients that you can get at a firm like Pulse. I am passionate about delivering great results and Pulse is the perfect place for me to do that.

“As well as being ambitious with a hugely talented team, there is a real sense of fun about Pulse and a real team spirit which is fantastic. The business feels progressive and vibrant and I am delighted to be a part of it and to be able to drive growth across the
region from the new Leicester office.”

Pulse was established in 2009 and has offices in both Nottingham and London, with the new Leicester base set to officially launch 28 June.

The opening follows the firm’s involvement in a number of key projects within the city including the refurbishment of the iconic Engineering Building at the University of Leicester and a 66-bed student residential scheme in Stamford Street.

Director Ian Carey said he was delighted to welcome Phil to the team. He added: “These are exciting times for the business and Phil is exactly the right person to help us drive our plans for growth not only across Leicestershire but also across the Midlands and further afield.

“The Leicester office is a really important part of our strategy and I am looking forward to seeing it develop over the coming months.”

Established in 2009, Pulse offers a personable and professional service to its clients across a range of different sectors including higher education, the arts and residential development among others.
