Agile homes associate referral program is designed to incentivise collaboration and help us inform as many people as possible about our company and objectives. We believe that there is no better reference than someone who has worked with Agile or who have experienced our homes first hand. As we scale our business we would like to keep in touch with like-minded individuals or companies by collaborating and working with them to ensure that their network connections learn about our unique models and innovation.

Pat Steward

Head of Opportunity

I am a professional planner (MRTPI) and urban designer. I have over 30 years of public, private and voluntary sector experience in management, change management, partnership development, community engagement, planning, transport, regeneration, environment and design. I focused on making things happen and delivery; I have lead on strategy production – from national policy, regional planning, local plans and master plans.

I work with organisations, communities and individuals to identify opportunities to deliver low carbon, affordable, modular homes; using whole systems thinking to find solutions that have social, environmental and economic benefits.

I was a keen sportsman and played cricket at a decent level (and have got better as I get older!!). Now it’s mostly spectating, long walks with the dog and foraging (one of the riskier hobbies!).

Lucy Smith

Pre Construction Project Manager

With a substantial background in housing provision, gained as an Operations Manager for a student accommodation provider, I am passionate about delivering projects with a client centred approached.

I was drawn to join Agile’s mission to tackle homelessness by providing affordable, low carbon homes, and I join them in their determination to drive modern methods of construction forward. Since joining I have played an instrumental role in implementing the BOPAS Quality Assurance Scheme, ensuring compliance across design, manufacturing, and construction phases by becoming a specialist in Procore Project Management software.

I am passionate about societal issues and have a degree in Social Inclusion. Working with adults with Autism, additional needs and mobility requirements has provided me with first-hand experience of the effects on peoples lives when housing provision is unsuitable. I share Agile’s vision to change this narrative by working on the provision of accessible and safe spaces that people can call home, Agile are making a positive impact and I am delighted to be on this journey with them.

Chris Bayly

Senior Designer

My name is Chris Bayly and I am a Senior Designer at Agile. I joined the company in 2022 with 11 years of architecture experience.

Most recently I ran my own architectural practice for 4 years based in Wiltshire and Bristol.

Prior to that, I worked as an Architect for 5 years on high-end residential projects in Wiltshire, and for 2 years on social housing, health, and education projects in Gloucester. I received my BA and BArch in Architecture from the Manchester School of Architecture and completed my qualifications at Bristol UWE.

I have a passion for getting involved in building projects, which started when I worked as a labourer as a teenager. Since becoming a qualified Architect, I have designed and built 2 garden rooms and renovated 2 houses. During my time living in Chile, I also worked with local children to help them design and build a garden for their school with the support of the community.

In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities and have been a regular runner for 20 years, competing in both road and off-road marathons. My approach to architecture is centred around clear communication, creativity, diligence, and understanding the bigger picture. As I have become more aware of the climate crisis, I have adapted my approach to construction to prioritize natural materials and reduce embodied energy in both my work and personal life. Working for Agile aligns with my values and professional goals.
