Birmingham-based property consultancy KWB has appointed Gareth Marchment as managing director of its property management division.

Most recently, Gareth was a director at Orbit Property Management where he oversaw a nationwide portfolio of clients and was instrumental in generating significant company growth during his 15-year tenure. Before that he held posts at Granite Property Partners and Bruton Knowles.

Gareth’s new role is to accelerate KWB Property Management’s growth across the Midlands and nationwide. The division specialises in the management of new and existing office, retail, industrial and residential buildings and developments on behalf of developers and landlords, as well as maximising value through asset management.

Gareth, who is a chartered member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), is taking over the reins from Mark Lenton, who was head of the division and will continue to work in the team.

Gareth said: “I am thrilled to have joined the KWB team as both a senior leader and shareholder. T he property management division is well established in Birmingham with a reputation for quality personal service and excellent results, reflected by the number of long term and returning clients in the portfolio. Our dedicated and experienced team are committed to maximising client assets and success as well as our own.

“I am really looking forward to getting to know our existing clients and nurturing relationships with a particular focus on the commercial and industrial sectors, as well as expanding our customer base.

the division, especially the residential portfolio, with our block management work set to increase.

“I’d like to thank Mark Lenton for his commitment to KWB to date.
