New Executive Hires at Ringley Group

Ringley Group, a leading residential asset management and operating partner, has announced the appointment of Nichola Pughe and Chris Georgallis. Both join from Copping Joyce Surveyors to lead the company's valuation department.

Responsibilities in the Valuation Department

Pughe and Georgallis will oversee Ringley’s valuation arm, providing key services such as mortgage valuations, rent projections, development appraisals, and project monitoring. The department collaborates with major banks, including Barclays, NatWest, Yorkshire Building Society, Close Brothers, and Eurobank.

Expertise and Industry Experience

With over 20 years of combined experience, the duo enhances the valuation department’s capabilities. Ringley Group, a 115-strong company, specialises in full life-cycle asset management for the living sector, offering investment strategies, operational management, and financial services.

Previous Roles and Achievements

Before joining Ringley, Georgallis led the valuation department at Copping Joyce, while Pughe was the firm’s highest biller. Their expertise spans both commercial and residential sectors, and they will be based in Ringley’s London office, which operates alongside branches in Manchester and Cardiff.

Ringley Group’s Market Presence

Managing around £6bn in assets across 13,500 homes, Ringley Group works with high-profile clients such as Berkeley Group, Curlew, Gresham House, Grosvenor, Long Harbour, and Moda. Their services support major developers, investors, and fund managers like PATRIZIA, Europa Capital, and Rise Homes.

Leadership’s Perspective on the New Appointments

Mary-Anne Bowring, Ringley Group’s managing director, expressed confidence in the new hires, stating:
"Chris and Nichola will offer real value to our existing and prospective clients at a time when investors are applying extra caution to their capital commitments. They can work in isolated parts of the capital stack or across the entirety of it, a highly valuable benefit as residential property groups move toward a vertically integrated investment, development, and operational model."
