Emma Foster, Planning Director at Spitfire Bespoke Homes, Shines in the Construction Industry

Emma Foster, 34, is making waves in the construction industry as the Planning Director at Spitfire Bespoke Homes. Based in Solihull, the company focuses on premium sites in desirable locations such as Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwick, and Royal Leamington Spa.

Foster's role at Spitfire Bespoke Homes is multifaceted. She liaises with various stakeholders, including local planning authorities, members of the public, key stakeholders, and on-site teams. Her responsibilities extend to assisting on live sites and looking at a range of new and upcoming sites.

Communication and teamwork are key aspects of Spitfire Bespoke Homes' work culture, and Foster is proud to be a part of this dynamic team. She often finds herself educating a range of people about Spitfire Bespoke Homes' brand, company ethos, and what the company always strives to achieve.

Foster's career has been dominated by planning since she left school. She studied Geography and Environmental Planning at UCE (now the University of Birmingham) and completed a Masters in Property Development. Before joining Spitfire Bespoke Homes, she gained work experience at a planning consultancy in the private sector.

In 2014, Foster started working at Spitfire Bespoke Homes and has since worked her way up from a Planning Manager to heading up the planning team. She is involved with Women in Property, a networking group for women in the construction industry, and recommends a career in the house building industry to younger girls.

The construction industry is seeing a significant shift, with women projected to make up 46.8% of the industry by 2022. Foster, who was the first in her family to attend university, has noticed more ladies branching into different roles within the industry.

Spitfire Bespoke Homes currently has a varied portfolio of sites covering Berkshire, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, and Hertfordshire. The company's projects can be found in the Warwickshire cities of Leamington Spa and Warwick.
