KWB appoints new Head of Property Management

Independent Birmingham commercial property consultancy KWB has appointed highly respected industry figure, Sam Lawrence, as its new head of property management.

With more than 25 years’ experience and an unrivalled knowledge of Birmingham and the wider West Midlands property market, Sam joins KWB from BNP Paribas, where he was a director of the Birmingham property management team.

Sam, who is also the former chair of Westside Business Improvement District (BID), has extensive experience managing diverse commercial property portfolios for high profile funds and high net worth clients in a career that also includes significant spells at Bilfinger GVA and ProLogis Developments.

Sam said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established, independent consultancy with deep roots in the region and a strong portfolio of investment and private clients.

“I’m looking forward to helping KWB build on its excellent track record in property management – streamlining and strengthening our operation to make it even more efficient, client-focused and results-driven.

“What attracted me most was the independence and entrepreneurial spirit of the business. Having come from a more corporate environment, this feels like a strong fit for me and I’m excited to be part of a team that really knows its market and puts client relationships first.”

KWB manages a significant portfolio of commercial properties across Birmingham, Solihull and the wider Midlands, and is actively growing its residential block management services.

Welcoming the appointment, KWB Director John Bryce said: “To attract someone of Sam’s calibre is a real coup for KWB. He brings with him an outstanding track record, a strategic mindset and a wealth of experience that will help us take our property management offering to the next level.

“Our clients – both existing and new – will benefit from his commercial insight, his focus on performance and tenant retention, and his in-depth understanding of the West Midlands property landscape.”

KWB offers a unique body of office and industrial property services and expertise, as well as the management of mixed-use schemes and residential blocks, to occupiers and property owners. It is the leading independent firm of commercial property consultants for offices and industrial units in Birmingham and the West Midlands.
