ARLA Propertymark and NAEA Propertymark have announced their new presidential teams for the year ahead.
Peter Savage succeeds Sally Lawson as President of ARLA Propertymark, with Phil Keddie now President Elect and Richard Selwyn becoming Vice-President. This is Savage’s second term as President, his first being in 2015/16.
Mark Bentley succeeds Katie Griffin as President of NAEA Propertymark, with Lauren Scott now President Elect and Ian Westerling becoming Vice-President.
Bentley became a member of NAEA Propertymark 36 years ago and has 41 years of sector experience. In 1996 he joined Paul Carr Estate Agents as a director and for the last 22 years has helped expand the company to become the largest independent estate agency in the west midlands.
David Cox, chief executive of ARLA Propertymark, said: “Our thanks go to Sally Lawson who, in a year of change for the lettings industry, has been steadfast in defending agents against constant critique from politicians and the media.
“We welcome Peter Savage to his second term as President and I look forward to working closely with him again as we help steer our members through the impending tenant fees ban.”
Mark Hayward, chief executive of NAEA Propertymark, said: “As someone who is dedicated to raising standards within the industry, we thank Katie for her commitment during her time as President.
“Mark Bentley brings a wealth of experience to the role and prides himself on the service that estate agents provide consumers – I look forward to working with him.”
Does anyone really care about the NAEA these days. Uninspiring appointments of people who aren’t exactly setting the world alight wit’s their own businesses. A quick glance at the new Presidents company website demonstrates an average agency so hardly representative of raising standards and setting the benchmark in estate agency.
Furthermore I’d have thought Mr Westerling might have more important things to do such as getting Humberts back on track having taken them to the brink of bankruptcy under his management and leaving many creditors owed thousands. Seriously how do these appointments get signed off, ah of courses it’s the elite tribe in Warwick who didn’t even give Chris Wood the courtesy he deserved.
