Scottish Widows Investment Partnership (SWIP) has further strengthened its 50-strong real estate team with the appointment of Geoff Hepburn as investment manager.
Hepburn has joined SWIP from Hartwell, a privately owned company in the South East of England where he was development and investment manager.
He will report to Nick Ireland and will be primarily responsible for the management of the Halifax Investment Fund Managers Limited Property fund.
SWIP has also promoted six members of the real estate team to investment director status, including Ross Braithwaite, manager of the recently launched SWIP/CWI Pan European Urban Retail fund.
Managers Paul Findlay, Veronica Gallo-Alvarez, Kerri Hunter, James McLean and Nick Smith have also been promoted.
"2011 was a year of substantial growth for SWIP's Real Estate team as we saw our assets under management increase by almost 40%, from £6.1bn in 2010 to £8.5bn in 2011," said Malcolm Naish, Director of Real Estate, SWIP.
"As we continue to grow, it is necessary to resource our business appropriately; I am therefore delighted to welcome Geoff Hepburn to the team."
