Consultancy and operator of build-to-rent, co-living, and single-family rental accommodation, VervLife has hired Leo Glass as director of BTR and Rachel Golby as head of property.
Glass was previously with Urbanbubble, where he led the management of 2,500 BTR homes within the L&G and DTZI BTR portfolios. He also worked as head of operations for Fusion Students earlier in his career.
Golby joins from Savills, where she directly managed the M&G BTR portfolio consisting of 15 rental communities in Manchester, Brighton, Bristol, Crawley and London.
The appointments will lead VervLife’s existing and new client mandates, which it says will total over 1,400 occupied homes by the end of the year, managed on behalf of clients including Crosstree, Gresham House, Eutopia Homes and Colico Living.
This includes multiple co-living communities in London, BTR schemes in The Midlands, and a single-family rental community in Manchester, as well as another 1,500 homes nationwide that are due to come into management throughout 2023 and beyond.
VervLife managing director Katherine Rose – pictured above, third left, with, from left, Golby, VervLife director Brent Stojanovic and Glass – said the company is “working on a number of innovations which we will introduce exclusively across our portfolio over the next 12 months, increasing our understanding of how assets perform whilst enhancing commercial and social value for both our investors and the people that live in them”.
She added that VervLife would be announcing more new hires in the near future.
