(London) – Aviva Investors, the global asset management business of Aviva plc, announces it has appointed Rory Spriggs to its Real Estate Equity team.
Rory joins as an Investment Manager to help drive the growth and scale of Aviva Investors’ Housing strategies through strategic partnerships and co-investments.
Reporting to Imogen Ebbs, Head of Strategic Investment, this new role will build on the success of Aviva’s recent £1.5bn housing deployment and future growth plans.
