The former divisional chairman of Berkeley Group, Angus Michie, has been appointed as Birmingham-based SevenCapital’s new managing director.

Michie has taken the helm to drive SevenCapital’s residential activities, leading the business’s growth strategy and expansion across the UK, with a particular focus on Birmingham, London and the wider South East.

He said: “SevenCapital is a fast-growing and exciting property Group that has made huge strides within the industry over the past decade, leading the way for modern residential development in Birmingham and the London peripheral. I am looking forward to applying my expertise and experience of driving forward industry leading projects and leading the team as we embark on the next decade of growth.”

Michie will be based in SevenCapital’s Park Lane office in London and operating between there and the Group’s main headquarters in Birmingham.

Bal Sohal, chairman of SevenCapital Group, added: “Angus is a fantastic addition to the Group’s core business as a residential developer and I am extremely pleased to have him onboard. His incredible track record at Berkeley speaks for itself and I’m excited for the future of SevenCapital under his leadership. We extend a very warm welcome to Angus.”
