Worcester-based property specialist Centrick has grown its building safety and compliance team by appointing four recruits, while promoting an existing member of the division.
James Capper steps up to become group director for building safety and compliance at the firm, having been with Centrick for more than four years. He has more than a decade of experience in the property and built environment across his career, and holds member status at the Institute of Fire Safety Managers and the Institute of Residential Property Managers.
Centrick said Capper will oversee the building safety division and help clients with the new and existing regimes.
Connor Scherer has been hired as an associate director in building and safety compliance. Prior to joining, Scherer worked as part of the Cortland Group under its LIV brand as head of building safety, before becoming portfolio director at The Ground Rent Specialists.
Bettina Winger has been appointed building compliance manager. She has more than seven years’ experience working in asset management for real estate firm Mainstay. Elaine Birkley joins as resident engagement manager and will help to fulfill a new requirement from the Building Safety Regulator.
The last addition is Louise Rillie, who joins the team as building remediation manager. Having worked in property for over eight years, Rillie "has extensive experience across the industry and understands the complexities of the sector".
Birmingham-based Centrick, which also has offices in London, Manchester, Sheffield, Gerrards Cross and Fareham, manages more than £3.5 billion in client assets.
