Paul Preston joins IP Global as Director to lead the expanding GCC operation, supported by three new consultants
United Arab Emirates, Dubai; 4 September 2012
IP Global, the property investment company that specialises in providing its clients with unique investment opportunities and advisory client services, today announces the expansion of its UAE team with four new joiners. This marks the beginning of an exciting time for the IP Global team as it looks ahead to Q4 2012 and strengthens its service offering for growing numbers of Middle Eastern investors.
Paul Preston, a property expert with over 15 years of specialist experience, who joins the team as Director and Head of Middle East, will lead the enlarged team. Paul was formerly CEO and partner of the UAE's largest and most successful international real estate companies: The Elysian Group, where he was responsible for both domestic and international real estate investment markets. This background makes him ideally suited to focus on the international portfolio offered by IP Global and to offer an in depth understanding of the needs of the local market.
Paul's role will be to oversee the on-going success of IP Global's Middle Eastern operation, based from the Dubai office, as it considers projects in various new locations around the world. It is key that the Director of the team widens the client base through a combination of knowledge, transparency and the ability to offer personally tailored solutions. It is also important that Paul has the vision to boost IP Global's overall presence in the marketplace and to build a commitment to value, integrity and best practice amongst the consultants.
It is a challenge that Preston is looking forward to, commenting:
"IP Global has long been a personal benchmark of reputable, quality driven property investment. I feel that my new role as Director will allow be to use my existing skills to best effect, and I am also relishing the opportunity to develop new services within the existing framework. It is also exciting to be joining the team at a time of expansion, and I welcome the opportunity to lead the team old and new."
Tim Murphy, CEO of IP Global adds:
"We're delighted to be joined by a property expert with such a high level of regional experience. Our Middle Eastern office is a real source of strength in our global network and it is important to us that we furnish the Dubai office with the appropriate level of knowledge and skills. I'm highly confident that Paul will lead the team admirably and am looking forward to working closely with him as we continue to expand our services in the GCC."
Paul will be supported in his day-to-day work with the existing IP Global team that will be expanded with the addition of three new Consultants: Martin Schiodtz, Daniel Whitlock and Shane Moriani. Originally from Denmark, Martin holds previous experience within real estate and investment firms within the GCC market, and has a wealth of experience in selecting the correct investment opportunities for his clients. Daniel Whitlock was previously with Elysian Investments as senior consultant, and his expertise lies in both residential and commercial real estate. Shane Moriani joins the team from a role as Business Development Manger at a firm based in Rio de Janiero.
