DB3 Group announces leadership changes
We’re delighted to announce a series of strategic promotions across the business. Since transitioning to an employee-owned model in December 2022, we have been meticulously working on our succession planning, shaping the company for future growth. The result of these efforts sees a series of key promotions and repositioning of business leaders, marking a significant milestone in DB3’s journey.
Charlotte Scaife has been appointed as business development director, and Matt Ganley in the role of engineering director, both bringing extensive experience and expertise to their positions.

Charlotte Scaife will play a pivotal role in strengthening the company’s presence in its niche sectors, across new market regions. In addition to overseeing the company’s client experience, bidding and marketing teams, Charlotte will contribute significantly to DB3’s strategic vision.
Matt Ganley will utilise his extensive experience to further expand DB3’s Building Services Engineering team. His promotion reflects DB3’s commitment to fostering excellence and creating social value through innovation and collaboration.
Meanwhile, Matthew Savory has decided to step down from the DB3 board while retaining influence within the company as the director of DB3’s Cardiff studio. To further support Matthew, Hasviter Monkley has been promoted to associate.
In Glasgow, Bob Ramage, previously head of DB3 Glasgow, is stepping into a strategic and client support role, with Ewan Ross assuming leadership of the studio, supported by Cameron Young who has been promoted to senior architect.
“It’s been incredibly fulfilling to see the practice go from strength to strength. I’m so pleased to be promoted to Director alongside Matt, and we are eager to contribute strategically to the broader success of the business. This is an exciting chapter for DB3, and I look forward to what lies ahead.”
