Podium welcomes two new appointments to the team

We are delighted to welcome Michelle Majalang and Anastasiia Dariichuk to the Podium team. With a strong combination of architectural expertise, building safety knowledge, and project administration experience, the skills they bring mean we are even better placed to support our clients across the full lifecycle of their projects.

Michelle joins Podium as Senior Project Manager with a background as an ARB Registered Architect and hands-on experience across both design and construction compliance. She brings specialist knowledge of the Building Safety Act 2022, with direct experience reviewing Safety Case Reports, assessing regulatory compliance for Higher-Risk Buildings, and supporting Golden Thread requirements. Her technical design coordination skills and experience across all RIBA stages give her a practical, well-rounded perspective that will strengthen our ability to guide clients through complex building safety and project delivery challenges.

Anastasiia joins as Technical Administrator, bringing over 16 years of experience supporting infrastructure, utilities, and development projects through project coordination, document control, and technical administration.

Her extensive background in maintaining project documentation, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, and managing compliance records across regulated environments makes her a natural fit for the demands of our growing workload. Her organisational skills and experience working within fast-paced, technically complex project environments will play a key role in ensuring the smooth delivery of our services.

Stuart Buckley, Partner, said, “We’re really pleased to have Michelle and Anastasiia on board. They will add real depth to our advisory capability and help us maintain the high standards of delivery our clients expect. As our workload continues to grow, having the right people in place is essential, and both appointments reflect our commitment to building a team that can deliver consistently and with
confidence”.
