Dandara Living has rehired Sam Smith from Dandi as the firm’s new operations director.
Smith started his career at Get Living and joined Dandara Living as national head of operations in 2021 from Hamptons.
In addition to heading up Dandara Living Management, Smith will also work with Dandara Living’s business development unit to explore opportunities to expand the management arm of the company through offering services to other development partners.
Smith said: “In spite of the challenging economic and regulatory environment, Dandara Living has ambitious plans for the future. Having successfully launched a further development in Birmingham and secured the forward sale of Renshaw’s Yard to Greystar at a time when year-on-year transaction volumes were significantly lower, is further recognition of Dandara Living’s ability to attract major industry players and the confidence in our brand, quality and offering. This a very exciting time to be part of the team.”
Jim Davies, CEO of Dandara Living, added: “This is a pivotal time for the business as we continue to develop our pipeline and opportunities to further evolve our operational management platform and offering. Sam has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the sector, and I am very pleased to have him on board.”
