Chief Executive Officer at Cadence Property Group, Charlie Buxton, says the appointment of the two highly credentialed property figures is a significant step in the business’s evolution, aimed to enhance its governance and risk framework and to support the growth of its funds management operations.

“To have representatives the calibre of Jonathan and Nicholas on our Investment Committee and Advisory Board will provide us with unparalleled guidance and expertise from two highly respected property professionals,” said Buxton.

“As the business continues to grow, particularly in the management of third-party capital, it’s extremely importantly that we are putting in place appropriate governance systems and this represents another key step in that direction.
