As CEO of the Vegner Group, I am responsible for shaping the company's vision, leading the wider strategy, and driving the continuous growth of the Group and our people in an ever evolving industry landscape. With a robust foundation in place, built on years of leadership and expertise in property management, I am focused on driving the Vegner Group's mission forward, positioning us as a leader in the leasehold management sector, and ultimately ensuring profitability by achieving our long-term objectives.

I joined the Vegner Group in 2015 as an Associate Director and have since held several key posts, including Head of Property Management, Regional Director, and Group Director. Each of these roles has helped refine my leadership skills and has given me a deeper understanding of both the operational and strategic requirements of the company.

Before joining Vegner Group, I initially worked in lettings management before transitioning into block management for a number of years. I later moved into operations management across several industries, including residential surveying, accountancy, and telecoms, before returning to property management.
