Chris Bartram is to retire from his role as chairman and partner at Orchard Street Investment Management at the end of March.
He will take up a new role as an adviser to the firm in relation to investment and asset management strategies within client portfolios.
Bartram was a founding partner of Orchard Street when it was established in 2004. Orchard Street has grown from around £800m assets under management at inception to more than £4bn today.
Bartram said: “Starting as a very small group, and working together closely, I believe that we can all be proud of the business we have grown, which has established a strong performance track record and industry-wide reputation.”
Philip Gadsden has taken on Bartram’s responsibilities. He said: “Chris has been an inspiration to many of us in the real estate fund management world and so it was no surprise to me that Orchard Street should become in its relatively short life such a well regarded name in property circles.”
