All three will work closely with the media, infrastructure, real estate and education divisions to leverage Ingenious’s investment and operating experience in these markets.

Neil Forster, CEO at Ingenious, said: “We are delighted that Luke, Jamie and Will have joined Ingenious to lead and develop our institutional business.

“They are highly successful executives who bring a wealth of experience and relationships to the Ingenious team.

“I am excited to be working with them to deliver on our strategic objective of expanding our institutional funds business across each of our investment sectors.

“Ingenious has successfully worked with corporates and institutional investors, and these appointments enhance our ability to create more opportunities in those channels.”
