Delancey has appointed Lesley Davison as managing director of capital markets.
Davison, who has more than 25 years of experience in real estate investment, is due to rejoin Delancey in March 2026. Since leaving Delancey in 2019, Davison has served as chief investment officer at Seaforth Land before becoming chief operating officer at Telford Homes.
In her new role, she will lead Delancey’s capital markets strategy in credit and debt, overseeing both lending and borrowing activities.
Davison said: “I am thrilled to return to Delancey as managing director of capital markets and look forward to leveraging my learnings from the past six years to help build on new and exciting future mandates. In a market where there is an increased focus on segregated mandates, I believe Delancey’s deep UK market knowledge and extensive experience across all major sectors gives the agility to react to macroeconomic or geopolitical changes while providing investors with highly bespoke access to deals and relationships, and therefore the highest investment return potential.”
Stafford Lancaster, CEO of Delancey, added: “Lesley rejoins Delancey at a pivotal time, with an expanding credit platform, major strategic partnerships and further new strategies planned. Her decision to rejoin us after her previous 14-year tenure I believe reflects the strong culture we have built at Delancey over our three decades and has been a critical ingredient to our growth and success. The Delancey team are excited to work with Lesley on the opportunities ahead.”
