What happens when you recognise talent early and back it properly? In this episode of Black Cat Chat, Andy Clow is joined by Ben Pountney, Associate Director, to talk about his journey into Black Cat, his promotion just weeks after joining, and the specialist Project Management experience he brings to complex development schemes.
Ben shares his perspective on moving from a corporate environment into an independent consultancy, why large-scale regeneration and masterplanning projects are becoming a growing part of Black Cat’s work, and what 2026 could bring for the development market.
We cover:
• Progression and recognising talent
