Socially conscious UK living fund manager Thriving Investments (formerly known as PfP Capital) has appointed four new non-executive directors.
The fund manager has recruited: ESG and sustainability expert Julie Hirigoyen, who stood down as chief executive of the UK Green Building Council earlier this year after eight years; Phil Clark, who has more than 30 years’ experience in senior and non-executive roles at a number of established businesses and was instrumental in the creation of Igloo Regeneration; Audrey Klein, who is currently a partner at Spencer House Partners, and prior to that was managing director and co-founder of the European business for Park Hill Real Estate; and Tim Saunders, who co-founded what was then PfP Capital in 2017.
Cath Webster, CEO of Thriving Investments, said: “Our four new non-executive directors bring unrivalled expertise, experience and networks gleaned from decades both founding and leading some of the best businesses in the real estate and ESG space.
“We are thrilled that they are joining us on our journey to create thriving communities and deliver large-scale regeneration projects, and look forward to the guidance of Julie, Phil, Audrey and Tim alongside our existing non-executive directors as we scale up our activities. We would also like to thank retiring non-executive directors, Stephen Hazell Smith and Rob Thomas, for their significant input over the past six years.”
Richard Gregory, chair of Thriving Investments, added: “I’m excited by the quality of our new board and by the market potential of our unique fund management and specialist regeneration platform. With the supporting of Places for People Group, we are well positioned to offer full-service opportunities to private and public sector investors and make a significant contribution to UK housing.”
