Barker will also be reviewing and implementing the necessary management and leasing structure for existing residential assets and supporting residential refurbishment schemes.
Burrow said: “We are delighted to welcome Nina who brings a wealth of experience to her new role managing our residential property portfolio.

Developer McCauls plans to create 89 homes and 8,000 sq ft of workspace at the grade two-listed 32-34 Laystall Street, just off Manchester’s Great Ancoats Street.
Designed by OMI Architects, the plans will see the restoration of the 1879 building into commercial space. The building was initially constructed as the offices, showroom and workshops of John Armitage & Son’s terracotta and fireclay manufacturing company.
The building will be extended to the corner of Laystall Street and Pigeon Street, “with a contemporary addition to provide a new vertical circulation system for the building”.
To the rear of the showroom, the intention is to build a nine-storey residential development configured in a horse-shoe around a landscaped courtyard. Deloitte is advising on planning, with Stephen Levrant Heritage Architecture also on the team.
