BAGS OF ENERGY AND UNRIVALLED EXPERTISE

Hi, I’m Jo. I’m the Managing Director of Shared Agenda. I’ve got 25 years’ experience under my belt, working both within and with the public sector across the North of England and Scotland.

I established Shared Agenda back in 2013 with Community Health Partnerships and Sewell Group. This came after our success with Hull Citycare Ltd, where, in my role as CEO, I lead a team who tripled the size of the health investment portfolio, as well as supporting customers to make the most of their estates.

Jo splits her time between Shared Agenda and Sewell Group as MD of Sewell Estates.

Hello! Tim here, Chief Executive of Shared Agenda and Citycare. I draw on my 30 years of estates experience to help our customers make best and most effective use of their estate allowing them to focus on their core business. I also look after the day to day operations of the company and manage the resources of our growing team.

My understanding of the challenges facing the public sector helps me apply my skills across the range of company services from strategic advice through to implementation.

Outside work, I’m a trustee with the Smile Foundation and HKR Community Trust, referee rugby union, and follow our one-eyed racehorse!

Let’s chat!

Hi, I’m Dan. I joined the team in 2014 from a background of facilities and project management in health, commercial and industrial sectors.

I’m a chartered surveyor (MIRICS) in project management and I’ve spent my entire career working in estates roles with over 14 years of experience.

Project and development management are my core skill set and my role at Shared Agenda is to guide clients right from the inception of a project all the way through to handing over the keys.

I really enjoy working with diverse teams and leading them to deliver estates solutions that are often a core part of a client’s transformation agenda.

I have a young family so life is always interesting but in-between being a dad I love to get out and put some miles in on a mountain bike.

Hello, I’m Dave.

As an Associate Consultant, I am responsible for the successful delivery and management of a wide range of construction projects undertaken by Shared Agenda and Citycare.

Working alongside our clients and the design team, I offer support, advice and guidance to both parties to ensure the ongoing successful delivery of construction projects.

Hi there, Nikola here.

I joined Shared Agenda in 2018, and have recently taken on the role of Associate Director.

My day to day job sees me leading our Strategy team and offer, as well as delivering a  wide range  of our consultancy services across the education and health sectors.

Prior to joining the team I spent over a decade working in Local Government and the Civil Service, mainly as a Project Manager (MAPM). During my time with the Civil Service, I honed my drafting skills, which led to me becoming an accredited Better Business Cases Registered Practitioner.

Outside of work I am Vice Chair of Governors at my local school, and currently rediscovering my love of dancing!

Hello. Having been part of the Shared Agenda and Citycare team for over 10 years, I am passionate about engaging with our partners to help find optimum property solutions through our estate strategy expertise.

I work closely with our analytics and data management team to understand property capacity and requirements, whilst also understanding our customers’ challenges and aspirations.

As a chartered surveyor, and having previously worked within regeneration in the public sector, I have a practical understanding of the endeavours which can be faced.

Outside of work I enjoy country walks with our Labrador, and often spend weekends at the side of a football or rugby pitch watching my son play.

Hiya, thanks for dropping onto my bio.

With over 15 years’ experience in marketing and communications, I work on new projects and business ventures for Shared Agenda and our parent company Sewell Group.

I tupe’d across to the team in 2019 to specifically lead on the management service contract for the flagship £200m Yorkshire Energy Park. Day to day, this means ensuring the smooth running of all operations associated with the development.

Outside of the office I’m a new mum, and when I get a spare hour I like to pull on my trainers and run (or, more accurately, jog) in the beautiful East Yorkshire countryside.

Hi I’m Nadine, I’m the Analyst and I joined the team in 2011. Developing our relationship database and expanding my sql coding skills have accelerated our data management offer.

I maintain current datasets where we provide a data retainer service. On projects, I advise of required data, format raw information received and import it into the database. My role also involves working on R&D product development delivering new web-based tools and software that help Shared Agenda become unique and more efficient.

I love visiting new places with my family, going to the theatre and enjoying meals out with a nice glass of Rioja!

I’m Jane (without a y!)

PA to both Managing Director Jo Barnes and the Chief Executive Tim Wigglesworth, whilst logistically running the office at Albion Mills. I have over 25 years of executive support level experience.

I provide administrative support through both peer review and ensuring compliance with all of Shared Agenda’s usual quality assurance processes. I also provide executive support to the Chairman of Citycare and Shared Agenda Board, Alan Johnson.  I describe myself as the ‘Girl Friday’ of my team undertaking daily reactive tasks for a busy team of 22.

I have a passion for looking after animals and volunteer every weekend at Hull Animal Welfare Trust.

Hi I’m Jon, I have over 11 years’ experience in complex estates, projects and developments working for both private and public sector clients.

Using my experience, I work across a range of projects from inception to completion making sure our clients are happy. I really enjoy working with our clients and project stakeholders and helping them achieve their desired outcomes whether this be through a well-managed and delivered refurbishment, completion of a feasibility study, development of a design, contract management or management and completion of critical maintenance and compliance works.

Outside of work I am a new dad and I enjoy spending quality time with my little girl and partner, I enjoy the outdoors, rock climbing and golf (fair weather only!)

Hi, I’m Richard, a Senior Analyst who joined the team in 2009. My role is to support the data analytics behind our services, providing the objective evidence and arguments behind our recommendations; using both statistics and computer programming.

Having developed into this role from being an Estate planner with an Msc in the subject, my background provides me with the advantage of a deep understanding of context to which my analytic programming skills can be applied. Once we have developed our analytics methods, I then convert them into web application tools for our team to operate themselves, then constantly improving them from the teams feedback.

Outside of work, I enjoy continuing to develop my interest in programming, as well as the joy I get from the time I spend bringing up my two sons.

Hi, I’m Joe.

I joined in Shared Agenda in May 2021 as a Project & Development Consultant.

On a day-to-day basis, it’s my job to take what a client needs and turn their vision into the functional buildings you might use on a daily basis, such as a healthcare practice. As a qualified architect, it’s important to me to promote efficiency and sustainability along with the wider positive impact they have.

Architecture is my passion –  I’m always searching for new inspiration, which often takes me to quirky places which is great, but it can mean I’m forever trying these new design ideas when renovating my own home!
