Using the experience and commercial experience of running my own business I was able to apply this to establishing the new arm of Brickmort the business. My favourite part of this project was learning the intricate and complex element of making a profit through property developing. It was also fun creating many new brands with strategies and personalities to suit each development.
Brickmort Investments was a successful business purchasing properties to rent, growing and establishing a healthy portfolio of properties exceeding £200min value. I was bought in to establish and launch a new arm of the business to buy commercial buildings and land to convert into residential properties for sale and rent. This was a mix of private residences and partnerships with many councils to provide housing.
I formed part of the executive team to launch the property development business, responsible for marketing and project management of varied residential developments ranging from 10 to 800 units.
Within 20 months we had successfully acquired 10 developments being managed by a team, recruited by myself, to include developing a brand strategy for a suite of interlinked company brands, managing marketing and advertising to include identity, website development, social media, CGI's, brochures, stationery, and sales materials. Followed by managing the successful marketing and sales of each development. During this period we outgrew out premises so I managed an office relocation including planning, construction/re-development, office design and fit out.
The set-up of each development also required company formation and financial information packs to acquire funding for developments; managing the planning process, approvals and appeals with councils and architects; Project manage all contractors and professional services to deliver the developments within timescales and budgets; and manage budgets and accounting for Brickmort Developments and each (SPV).
