Muse Academy boost as Graduate Development Manager appointed

We have appointed Abiola Ogunsami as Graduate Development Manager in the North West.

Abiola joins our Salford-based team after graduating from the University of Salford and will also help develop the Muse Academy. The Academy was established in 2023 and is designed to create more opportunities for young people within the placemaking and regeneration industry.

The Muse Academy has already hosted several T-Level students and supported the professional development of an apprentice Trainee Project Manager, Raheim Clemetson.

Alongside his studies, Abiola has been a volunteer ambassador and mentor at Regeneration Brainery since 2021. Regeneration Brainery is an academy which inspires young people aged 14-21 to kickstart a career in property and regeneration.

Abiola has represented the academy on panel events at industry conferences such as UKREIIF and MIPIM, hosted presentation and Q&A sessions at schools and colleges and networked with industry professionals.

Alongside the development of the Muse Academy, Abiola will support delivery on a pipeline of major regeneration across the North West, including Salford Central, and the landmark regeneration of St Helens town centre.

Phil Marsden, Managing Director at Muse – North West, said:

Phil continued “At Salford and St Helen’s, in particular, Abiola’s insight will make an important contribution to the delivery team, and we hope that our decades of experience will support his own development.”
