Related Argent has announced that executive directors Michael Lightbound and Nick Searl will leave the business at the end of this year.
Lightbound has served as finance partner since 2015 and has led on many of the financial transactions completed at the company’s King’s Cross estate (pictured), Heart of Hale development and more recently Brent Cross Town.
Searl has spent the last decade working in various roles in the King’s Cross development team and has been a member of the leadership team of Brent Cross Town since 2016. He was managing partner of Argent from 2020 to April 2024.
Lightbound and Searl both became executive directors in 2023 ahead of the transition to Related Argent on 1 May this year.
Tom Goodall, chief executive director of Related Argent, said: “I would like to pay an enormous tribute to Mike and Nick for their outstanding contributions to the success of Argent and more recently Related Argent. I have worked with them for over 12 years and want to take this opportunity to thank them for their personal and professional support throughout this time. All of us at Related Argent, and the many colleagues they have worked with over the years across the industry, wish them the very best in their future endeavours.”
