Alex Maltby (pictured above), joins as investment director and will be tasked with opening an office in Bristol, the firm’s first in the region. He will lead a team responsible for growing HGP’s footprint across both SME for-sale and living sectors.

Previously, Alex was head of major transactions at L&G Affordable Homes. In his 15 years’ experience working in residential real estate investment and funding, he was also head of partnerships at Homes England.

Vic Hepburn, CEO at HGP, said Alex’s hire and expansion was a core part of the firm’s five-region strong model with the area having a “critical shortage” of homes.

 “We believe that being local is important and where we can, we look to have regional offices, with Bristol now our fifth UK office location,” said Vic.

“Hailing from the South West, Alex has spent most of his career supporting SMEs and corporates on residential-led schemes, across a range of structures and tenures. I’m really excited about Alex’s plan to build a team and extend our local market support.”
 
Alex added: “HGP’s unique investment approach is a powerful tool for house builders and developers looking to grow their businesses. It’s hugely exciting to be joining the team supporting the delivery of schemes spanning the for-sale, single and multifamily, student and later living tenures, across the region.”
