James Wates has been appointed as a non-executive at Argent.
Wates will contribute to Argent’s strategic growth and performance as a London, Birmingham and Manchester-based property developer.

He is also chairman of the Prince’s Trust Built Environment Leadership Group.
Jonathan Thompson, independent chairman of Argent, said: “I am delighted James is joining Argent as a non-executive. He brings a wealth of business and construction experience to Argent at a time when it is expanding its regeneration footprint and when construction activity at King’s Cross (pictured) will be at an all-time high.”
