Birmingham-based Blue Marble Asset Management (Blue Marble) has appointed a new property and asset manager.
Amy Haywood joins the real estate asset management specialist as a Senior Property and Asset Manager from Lambert Smith Hampton where she worked in a business development role for the Birmingham and East Midlands offices.
At Blue Marble Ms Haywood will help to asset manage the company’s growing national portfolio of industrial, office and mixed-used investment properties on behalf of its clients. She will also advise on new leases and lease extensions, and help with Blue Marble’s business development programme.
Blue Marble Chief Executive Tim Matthews says: “Amy’s knowledge and experience will play a vital role in the continuing growth of Blue Marble, as we continue to add to client numbers and to expand our clients’ property portfolios. She will work with the rest of the team to maximise value and returns on our clients’ commercial property investments, working to an agreed business plan on each one.”
Ms Haywood says: “I am looking forward to putting my property and business skills and knowledge to good use to contribute to the strong growth already enjoyed by Blue Marble. I share their philosophy of intelligently investing their clients’ money, rather than simply spending it, and of managing assets strategically.”
