HOLLIS APPOINTS ANDY HAY AS NEW CEO

Linkedin

Shared 3 April, 2024



One of the largest Employee-Owned Trusts in the UK, Hollis – an independent real
estate consultancy company has appointed Property Director Andy Hay as its new
CEO.

Andy formally joins Hollis in May and will be tasked with leading the company
into its next phase of growth, as it targets raising its turnover in the next
five years to £100m. He carries with him a wealth of expertise and experience in
strategic leadership within the property sector.


With previous appointments including CBRE, Andy held positions on the Global
Asset Services and EMEA Operations Boards. Most recently he was Managing
Director at Colliers, responsible for delivering the first pan-European property
management service line, alongside driving the digitalisation and ESG offering
across Europe.


“Since becoming part of the real estate industry in 2006, I have always been
aware of Hollis as a business that was constantly growing and being at the
forefront of innovating and pushing the entire industry to evolve. It has always
been admired and respected by competitors and clients alike for the way in which
it has developed incredibly talented teams and individuals. They are the people
with the ‘Hollis Way’ in their DNA and who will help preserve the company’s
distinctive culture and ensure our continued commitment to excellence for our
clients.”


– Andy Hay, CEO, Hollis

Andy will take over from interim CEO Digby Flower, who since joining the
business in September 2023, has been instrumental in setting Hollis on a
successful path towards growth. This has included implementing a new board
structure with regional Managing Directors and driving the recruitment process
to secure a permanent successor.

Digby will now become Chairman in a move that ensures continuity for Hollis and
its clients. He will also be focused on continuing to drive through positive
organisational change.


“Andy has a proven track record of delivering significant growth to already
successful businesses with an international reach, whilst also leading strategic
change within large corporate organisations within real estate and other
industries. His strong digital and ESG focus and desire to be innovative fits
well with the direction Hollis has been going and what has made Hollis the
success it is today. He comes with a reputation for understanding the importance
of developing the people within a business, which aligns with the Hollis ethos.”

– Digby Flower, Chairman, Hollis

Alongside the developments at management board level, Hollis also confirms the
further evolution of its leadership succession plans with the appointment of
four new strategic directors from outside the business. These directors will
work alongside the board to drive growth and innovation across key existing and
new service areas.

Benjamin Ralph and Deepika Singhal will join as Directors in April, to head up
the Building Safety & Fire service and lead on Building Physics services in the
UK respectively. Alistair Cooper will become Director and Head of Dilapidations
in June. A new Director will also join to establish and lead a new Development
Management service from September 2024.

“Over the years we have explored many ways of growing and pushing the business
forward; my desire has always been to maintain our independence and put our
people first. Switching to an employee-owned trust two and a half years ago was
the first step of putting a succession plan in place that secured this
independence. We already have a group of directors who are among the best in the
industry at what they do; together with a new CEO and strategic directors who
bring with them experience from outside of Hollis, they will be able to grow our
business even further.”

– John Woodman, Founding Partner, Hollis


Founded just over 30 years ago, Hollis currently operates out of the UK,
Ireland, Netherlands, Spain, and Germany. The company works alongside numerous
institutional investors to deliver undisputed consultancy services in the
purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) sector, amongst other sectors.
