Charlie Voyce

Trainee Project Manager

Charlie joined Stace in 2025 as a Trainee Project Manager, on our apprenticeship scheme, shortly after completing his A-Levels.

He had previously undertaken work experience at Stace over the two years prior, which helped solidify his interest in the industry. Inspired by his father, who is also a Project Manager, Charlie spent time visiting sites from a young age, sparking a passion for the built environment.

In his role, Charlie supports the Project Management team in delivering and managing projects to successful outcomes. He works closely with developers, contractors, consultants, and clients to build strong working relationships, while also inspecting and recording the quality and progress of works on site.

He is currently involved in a sustainable office refurbishment project for British Land.

Outside of work, Charlie is a dedicated Tottenham Hotspur supporter.

John Noble

Consultant

After qualifying as a Chartered Accountant, John chose to specialise in tax and went on to become a Chartered Tax Advisor. However, he was soon persuaded by Len Stace (the founder of the business), and his partners to make the leap into the industry, leaving behind his early tax career and private practice. That decision marked the beginning of a journey that has now spanned over 35 years in the corporate world.

John takes pride in having introduced the first computers to the accounts department at Stace, and has enjoyed watching technology evolve and reshape the business over the years. While his role has typically remained on the edge of direct client advisory services, one notable exception was his involvement with bomb-damaged buildings at South Quay on behalf of Allied Domecq, where he provided accounting support.

As a member of the Management Board at Stace, John is responsible for accounting, finance, and business support functions.

A mantra he lives by is: expect the unexpected and plan for every eventuality, wherever possible. Away from the numbers, John is passionate about his family and enjoys most sports – whether participating or watching.
