The firm’s development director Darran Lawless is to join the board of build-to-rent specialist Placefirst having headed up the £5bn Liverpool Waters regeneration project for the last three years.
He will leave Peel L&P in April before joining Placefirst as development director in May. In his new role, Lawless will have a national remit and is to fill the position vacated by Paul Westhead.
Lawless said: “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at Peel L&P but I’ve decided it’s time for me to move on to my next challenge at Placefirst.
“It has been a privilege to lead Liverpool Waters over the past three years. I’m very grateful for the support of my team, colleagues and external advisers. Peel L&P is a great company with dedicated and professional people and I wish everyone at Peel L&P every success.”

The landowner is courting developers to help it bring it forward a trio of sites that would deliver the first 400 of 3,000 homes of the £1bn project on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal.
The residential schemes being planned include one part-affordable, part-open market development; one project focussed on care and senior living accommodation, and one build-to-rent scheme that Peel L&P would bring forward itself with the backing of a funding institution, the company’s executive director of development James Whittaker told
Place North West.
Peel L&P secured outline consent in 2018 for Trafford Waters, a mixed-use scheme on a 63-acre development site it owns opposite the Trafford Centre. The scheme is expected to take two decades to complete.
