Alliance Property Asset Management (APAM) has expanded its continuing growing team with the appointment of Alan Harris as its new senior asset manager. The specialist UK property asset management firm, which focuses on enhancing value in commercial, residential and leisure property across the UK, currently employs 25 members of staff across its offices in London, Manchester and Sheffield.
Alan has over 30 years’ experience in property asset management having run the UK asset management division of Green Property PLC. Starting with a UK portfolio of just £25m he oversaw the transformation of Green UK into a major player with gross assets under management in excess of £1bn. Most recently Alan ran Weybourne Asset Management, a niche investment/asset management vehicle based in London, sourcing and asset managing real estate investment opportunities on behalf of high net worth investors. Based in APAM’s London office, Alan will provide strategic advice and asset management to its clients and their property portfolios.
Simon Cooke, director at APAM commented: “We are delighted that Alan has come on board and his appointment marks an important transition for the company as we continue to grow the team. APAM has dealt with £330m of assets over the last twelve months and is continuing to grow its portfolio. We are confident that Alan’s extensive experience and industry knowledge will complement and further enhance the senior management team.”
Alan Harris commented: “The Board’s experience and knowledge has led to rapid growth of the business over the last three years and it was this, coupled with the breadth of expertise across the offices, that made the opportunity of joining APAM too good to miss. The geographical spread and diverse nature of APAM’s current portfolios makes it particularly exciting and I look forward to working with the team to drive the business forward.”
