Ringley advises on 15,000th UK BTR unit as growing firm unveils new-look leadership team

Samworth will work closely with Group CEO Richard Williams to oversee the company’s operations and set the strategic direction and implementation for future growth, with the leadership completed by Mary Anne Bowring and Mehdi Mehra, co-founders of the business. 

The growth of the business has been propelled by consistently winning new mandates across all its service lines, with the most recent new mandates including one of the largest Right to Manage developments in the UK, Galliard Homes’ Wimbledon Stadia and an instruction from Silbury Capital. 

Ringley is also embarking on ambitious plans to grow the commercial part of the business, leveraging both its existing platform and increasing commercial instructions to capitalise on the growing demand from investors and developers for advisors that can provide expertise and manage both asset classes, either as standalone projects or as part of one multi-asset development. 

To accommodate the exponential growth of team, which comprises over 230 people, the company has moved into a new headquarter building located in Camden Town, north London, adjacent to its existing premises in the area from which the company has grown. The group has also opened a new office in Wimpole Street in London’s West End, to complement regional offices in Cardiff and Manchester.  

To develop bench strength across the whole business, the company is executing a strategy of securing new senior hires to consolidate and further evolve the business.  Industry leading economist Jennet Siebrits recently joined as the new Head of Research from CBRE to fortify Ringley’s pioneering data research capabilities. 

Founded 30-years ago, Ringley Group has grown into a full service, vertically integrated property and asset management company specialising in the Living sector.  

Ringley Group is the corporate umbrella for a portfolio of 12 companies which harness proprietary technology to deliver a data-driven service across all aspects of operational real estate; asset and property management, leasing, valuation, block management, building surveyors, fire engineers and law – either as integrated or standalone services.

The rebrand, which incorporates a new image, striking logo and “Living Real Estate” strapline, is represented on a newly launched website, across all digital media channels, marketing content and signage.
