Ringley Group has strengthened its senior leadership team by appointing Martin Samworth as group chairman.
Samworth, who previously held the role of strategic adviser and non-executive director at Ringley Group, will work closely with group CEO Richard Williams to oversee the company’s operations and set the strategic direction and implementation for future growth.
The company recently moved into a new headquarter building in Camden Town and has also opened a new office in Wimpole Street in London’s West End, to complement regional offices in Cardiff and Manchester.
Samworth said: “I’m inspired and energised to be working with Ringley at such an exciting and pivotal time in the living sectors. Ringley’s proposition to the market has a number of clear value differentiators for clients, given no one else is offering the breadth of services, driven by technology and proprietary data. It is a truly end-to-end vertically integrated offering. The living sectors are set to eclipse other asset classes over the next 10 years and our platform is perfectly placed to capitalise with scalable growth across all our service lines.”
Mary-Anne Bowring, co-founder and managing director of Ringley Group, said: “This is an important milestone for the business which over the years has grown into a truly full service asset and property management company for the living sectors. The company has been built on a supportive, can-do, entrepreneurial culture and the team and platform we have in place, we’re excited about the opportunities ahead to help build on our successes to date. The UK continues to face a housing crisis and our work places us right at the heart of the living ecosystem, empowering and finding solutions for people, banks and landlords and everyone with a stake in residential property.”
Williams said: “We now operate operates or advise in every real estate sector as a truly end-to-end, vertically integrated service and advisory offering, both intertwined and as standalone services. While our core business will always be anchored by our residential work, with build-to-rent, single-family housing, valuations and block management as key areas, we are increasingly leveraging commercial activity from residential base; capitalising on transforming trends in modern living and urban lifestyles, with consumers demanding more efficient, greener solution in keeping with shift towards sustainability and wellbeing.”
