Dominvs Group has appointed former executive director of The Berkeley Group, Sean Ellis, to its board as a non-executive director.
Ellis, who served on the board of The Berkeley Group from 2010 to 2021, will advise Dominvs on land and planning, strategy, operational efficiency and governance, and forming new joint ventures, such as the £50m residential JV it signed with Yorkshire County Properties in 2021.
He is the third senior non-exc director appointed to the Dominvs board this year following the appointments of former CEO of Travis Perkins Properties Martin Meech and Martin Samworth, the former chair and CEO of CBRE’s advisory business in APAC and EMEA.
Preet Ahluwalia, principal at Dominvs Group, said: “Sean’s experience leading one of the UK’s largest housebuilders and his knowledge of residential asset classes and housing delivery will be invaluable as we look to expand our £2.4bn cross-sector development pipeline across the UK. Sean will work closely with us as we continue to acquire new residential development sites across the country, build upon the success of our existing joint ventures, and utilise our track record to form new collaborative partnerships.”
Ellis added: “Dominvs Group sets itself apart as a dynamic, well-funded, investment and development company that understands the role of partnerships in unlocking value. The rate at which Dominvs is securing sites, forming partnerships and its deal-making capabilities, makes it an exciting time to join the board Dominvs continues to grow its exposure across the living sectors.”
