Woodalls strengthens local leadership in France and Spain to support complex commercial projects across Europe.
Woodalls, a London-based design and construction firm, has recently expanded its leadership team by appointing Melisa Armocida as project director for France and Marielena Sardi as project manager for Spain. These strategic moves reflect the company’s commitment to enhancing local expertise within key European markets while maintaining high standards in commercial construction delivery.
Armocida, based in Paris, brings over 15 years of international experience managing complex workplace, luxury retail, and commercial projects. Her background with firms such as Unispace, WeWork, and JLL equips her with valuable insights into large-scale, multi-market developments. Meanwhile, Sardi, operating from Madrid, offers more than eight years of project management experience, particularly in high-end commercial fit-outs and workplace programmes across Southern Europe.
For construction management within London, Greater London, and the Home Counties, this development underscores the importance of combining local knowledge with international experience to meet the nuanced demands of multinational clients. As commercial projects increasingly involve cross-border considerations, having leaders who understand regional regulations, cultural expectations, and market dynamics is crucial.
Atico Solutions recognises that effective construction management depends on anticipating these complexities early in project planning and maintaining clear communication channels across all stakeholders. Woodalls’ approach to building strong local teams exemplifies best practice in managing sophisticated commercial developments, ensuring projects progress efficiently despite the challenges of international expansion.
