Henry Davidson Developments Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fiducia Group Ltd specializing in retail, roadside, healthcare, neighbourhood centres, leisure and a range of mixed use developments which incorporate examples such as residential dwellings, day nurseries, medical facilities, public houses, restaurants and community facilities.
Eden Park Developments Ltd is a property development company specialising in industrial and office premises for the institutional and owner occupier market.
In the particularly competitive and challenging property development marketplace Novo has utilised its executive search capabilities to make a number of key appointments within the Group including
- A Managing Director for Eden Park

As a result of our successful work we were introduced to an associated contracting company to Fiducia where we have recruited a new Managing Director and Commercial Director.
Faber Maunsell - Regional Director Appointments
Faber Maunsell is an international, award-winning multi-disciplinary consultancy, delivering a comprehensive range of building engineering, transportation and environmental services, through a network of over 30 office locations across the UK and Europe. Employing over 2,500 staff, the business’s revenue turnover is in excess of £139m.
Faber Maunsell has a wide-ranging international building engineering capability that includes innovative building services solutions within the areas of structural and civil engineering. Due to a series of significant project wins in the South West and South Wales and the need to strengthen leadership within the respective offices, Novo was retained to recruit a Regional Director, Structures for the Bristol office and a Regional Director, M&E for the Cardiff operation.
Novo ran a two month targeted executive search of the building services market in this precise geographical area, which resulted in the successful recruitment for both senior level roles. Off the back of this work, Novo has been awarded a series of further assignments which continue to result in successful appointments.
"I have enjoyed working with Peter and his team since they started up and it is a relationship I am happy to continue. Novo scores very strongly acting as the virtual face for my Company - I have real confidence in their ability to represent us and judging by the feedback from candidates they do this very well. I also appreciate Novo's honesty - they manage our expectations well and push us hard for support when they need which enhances the sense of relationship in our dealings."
"In a challenging and competitive market I have been impressed by the level of service and communication provided by the team at Novo Executive Search. I would have no hesitation in recommending using the services again as we continue to grow and expand."
"After several unsuccessful attempts to recruit an Acoustics Consultant for our expanding Midlands operation, HLA commissioned Novo to act on our behalf. Right from the start, the team at Novo consistently delivered a professional yet refreshingly honest service, never building up Client expectations to be any greater than they themselves considered justifiable. However, what really shone through was Novo's overriding desire at all stages of the process to work with us, understanding our business, our ethos and our needs, even as these needs changed through the course of the project."
