The British Property Federation’s (BPF) retiring director of policy, Ian Fletcher, is joining The Property Institute (TPI) on a part-time basis as a senior policy and enterprise adviser.
Fletcher, who is retiring from the BPF at the end of March after 23 years, will take up his new role at the professional body for residential property managers in England, Scotland and Wales, in April.
Andrew Bulmer, chief executive of The Property Institute, said: “We are always looking to make appointments that will strengthen our team at TPI. Ian has long supported TPI in its work in the build-to-rent sector, for example supporting the TPI BTR Ofqual-accredited qualification, still leading the profession.
“A champion of mandatory qualifications and regulation of property agents, his calm demeanour, experience, and knowledge will be a tremendous asset to the Institute at a time when government is contemplating the most effective form of regulation. Ian could not be joining the TPI at a more important time.”
Fletcher added: “The interface with the sector’s customers is the most important in property. I am therefore excited and honoured to be joining TPI. I have much-admired the Institute’s work for many years in seeking to bolster education, raise professionalism, and improve standards in the property management sector. I am joining an exceptional team, which I hope to support their important work in areas such as building safety, and qualifications in the build-to-rent sector, a particular passion of mine.”
