Last month, we annouced the news that our client Placefirst’s CEO, David Mawson, has been appointed Executive Chair in the first step in his planned retirement. This will see him step down from his role as Chief Executive, after serving in the role for six years.
Under his leadership, Placefirst has built an impressive nationwide portfolio of high-quality, diversified UK single-family housing and build-to-rent homes and, through a combination of direct development, joint ventures and forward funded deals, is on course to achieve its ambition of delivering and operating 10,000 homes.
Whilst Mawson will continue to guide the business in his new role as Executive Chair, the day-to-day leadership of Placefirst will be the responsibility of its long-standing CFO, Lukman Sabir and Chief Investment Officer Anna Hwang. Recruitment for a successor is currently in progress.
We secured widespread coverage of the news in the property industry press, including in BTR News, Place North West, Bisnow and Green Street News.
