New CEO for Morris Capital appointed

Nick Wood has joined Morris & Company to take up the new position of chief executive officer for the company’s newly-launched Morris Capital - an integral new member of the Morris Group.

Morris Capital has been established to further the fifth-generation property company’s strategy to effectively expand its property operation and geographical footprint into the Birmingham region. 

Nick - a Chartered Surveyor with longstanding experience in the Midlands commercial real estate market - joins from Savills where he was a director and executive board member working in the Investment team.

With over 17 years’ experience, Nick brings a strong track record within the Midlands investment market, having worked with a broad client base that includes institutional funds, private equity, developers, national and regional property companies.

Robin Morris, chairman of Morris & Company, said: "We are excited to bring Nick into our business as he shares our passion for long-term value creation and high-quality development.

"Working alongside our senior development and estates property teams here, I am confident Nick’s experience, knowledge and contacts within the Birmingham property scene will help us access this neighbouring region which is brimming with opportunity for investment and development.”

Nick said: "Morris has a unique history and unrivalled track record and as a 'Shropshire lad' working in property, I have always seen Morris Property as a pioneer in commercial development. I am delighted to now have the opportunity to work with an incredible team with its positive and ambitious ethos.

“I am looking forward to utilising my experience and professional network to help deliver continued success and grow the company's existing investment portfolio - an exciting challenge, especially in this counter-cyclical market.”
