Jersey-based property investment and development group Le Masurier has appointed JLL's UK CEO Chris Ireland to its board as a Non-Executive Property Adviser, following the retirement of former King Sturge Senior Partner Malcolm King. In addition, the group has appointed Mike Covell as Chairman.
Having joined international property consultancy King & Co (latterly King Sturge) in 1979 as a graduate, Chris (pictured right) gained experience in the investor part of the business, holding a number of increasingly senior roles to become Joint Senior Partner.
Following the merger of King Sturge and JLL, Chris became UK Chairman and Lead Director for Capital Markets at JLL, where he was at the forefront of growing the investment business and developing alternative investment areas in student housing, health and senior living.
He is also involved with the Strategic Advisory Group of the Investment Property Forum, after chairing the industry organisation in 2015.
Mike Covell (pictured left) is an experienced Non-Executive Chairman and Director. He is currently Chairman of UK financial planning business the Ascot Lloyd Group, Chairman of institutional investment adviser Sackville Capital, and Director of the Bank of Butterfield.
Previously, Mike chaired UK wealth manager the Tilney Group, as well as offshore fiduciary business Hawksford International. He has also served as a Director of the International Property Securities Exchange and Leeds Castle Foundation.
Mike retired from Goldman Sachs in 2008, where he was a Managing Director in its European Private Wealth Management Division. Prior to this, he was a Senior Partner at accountancy firm Rawlinson & Hunter.
