It is fantastic to have an opportunity to help deliver real performance outcomes for clients in an organisation that has environmental and societal impact at the heart of all its activities through its “force for good” ethos. Redevco has a pioneering and distinctive approach to enhancing urban liveability and sustainability, demonstrated with its high-quality proprietary real estate portfolio spanning European markets. I look forward to working with Neil and the team to help further expand and strengthen the portfolio.”
