Venn Partners has hired former Crown Estate chief executive Roger Bright as chairman of subsidiary PRS Operations.
Prior to joining the Crown Estate, Bright was head of the investment business department at the Financial Services Authority.
Venn Partners was recently appointed as a delivery partner on the government’s Private Rented Sector Housing Guarantee Scheme. It has also arranged over £1bn of commercial real estate loans across Europe.
Partner Richard Green said: “We are delighted to welcome Roger as chairman of PRS Operations. His breadth of experience as a senior civil servant and strong real estate track record will be fundamental in maximising the success of the scheme.
Bright said: “Improving access to institutional investment in the PRS is vital if we are to ensure market growth and help to raise standards for tenants across the UK. I am delighted to have the opportunity to be a part of the scheme.”
