KWB is pleased to announce the appointment of Gareth Marchment as Managing Director of its property and asset management division.
Most recently, Gareth was a Director at Orbit Property Management where he oversaw a nationwide portfolio of clients and was instrumental in generating significant company growth during his 15-year tenure. Before that he held posts at Granite Property Partners and Bruton Knowles.

Gareth Marchment said: “I am thrilled to have joined the KWB team as a senior leader. The property and asset management division is well established in Birmingham with a reputation for quality, personal service and excellent results, reflected by the number of long-term and returning clients in the portfolio. Our dedicated and experienced team is committed to maximising client assets and success, as well as our own.
“I am really looking forward to getting to know our existing clients and nurturing relationships with a particular focus on the commercial and industrial sectors, as well as expanding our customer base. KWB has the added benefit of offering the full range of property services, meaning we can provide bespoke solutions to optimise our service.”
John Bryce, Founder and Director at KWB, said: “We are excited to work with Gareth to grow our property management portfolios in the Midlands region and beyond. He has a wealth of knowledge and contacts, and is a great fit for the KWB group. 2023 was a very good year for the division, especially the residential portfolio, with our block management work set to increase.
“I’d like to thank Mark Lenton for his commitment and dedication to KWB to date. He has overseen the impressive development of the our property management portfolio over the last 20 years and has led the business through some difficult economic times. We have also had the benefit of his extensive knowledge and experience, and he was instrumental in starting our now flourishing residential block management division, now headed up by Nicola Fagan.”
