DCI Appoints Ben Lavelle as North West Business Development Manager

District & County Investments (DCI) has appointed Ben Lavelle as its new North West business development manager. Lavelle joins DCI after more than three years at Hope Capital, where he worked as a business development executive.

Lavelle began his career at Barclays, spending nearly seven years in intermediary sales. His appointment at DCI comes as the company seeks to grow its distribution footprint and expand its proposition to property developers and investors.

According to the report, Lavelle's first deal at DCI was a £2.95 million case in Liverpool, which was announced last week. DCI's commercial director, Michael Clifford, noted that the North West has always been a strong region for the company and highlighted the value Lavelle brings to the team.

This appointment may be of interest to UK letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring developments in property finance and regional investment activity.
