Nick Tappin Bsc (Hons)

Nick has worked in the construction and development industry for the past 10 years. After gaining an honours degree in Real Estate Management from Oxford Brookes University, he joined Thames Valley based developer Michael Shanly Homes as a land buyer. He went onto work for smaller residential developers before taking a job as Development Manager at St James’s Investments in New Bond Street, a development partner of Tesco Stores. At St James’s he gained vital experience in town centre mixed use schemes, leading development teams of up to 20 consultants for retail led sites including some of the largest stores in the country and over 2000 residential units. With this variety of experience Nick decided to fulfil an ambition and set up his own company. Initially he started project managing for private clients advising on development, then in early 2010 he founded Manor Park Construction. The company has become established as a leading local contractor and has seen rapid growth from its inception. On the success of the contracting business and his past development experience, Nick decided to set up MPG Developments taking advantage of his knowledge & level of understanding of what it takes to be a successful property developer.
