Saoirse Mcstay

Saoirse has over nine years’ experience in client development, business development and bid management, with particular expertise in the public sector and built environment. Prior to joining Savills, she worked for a global built environment consulting firm and, before that, a major UK defence contractor, where she started her career on a project management graduate programme.

At Savills, Saoirse works across a portfolio of strategic public sector and property company/REIT clients, partnering with client teams to deepen relationships, understand client priorities and identify opportunities for growth. She brings together client and market insight, relationship intelligence and expertise from across Savills to support strategic client planning and help deliver a coordinated approach to key clients. 

Saoirse also supports pipeline and opportunity development, working with teams to identify, prioritise and pursue strategic opportunities. Drawing on her background in bidding and business development, she supports capture and pursuit planning from early positioning through to competitive tender, helping teams develop strategies that respond to clients’ priorities and bring together the strongest capabilities from across Savills.

Outside of work, Saoirse is a keen runner and has taken part in a number of half and full marathons, raising funds for charities including Teenage Cancer Trust, LandAid and Stonewall. She previously volunteered with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award for seven years, supporting young people across Hampshire to complete their award, and will be running the 2027 London Marathon in support of the charity.
