Midlands property management firm Premier Places has announced three senior appointments.
Dani James, 31, who has been with the agency for ten years, has been promoted to the newly-created post of chief executive. She will now lead the firm’s business development plans.
She joined the firm in 2004 and has risen through the ranks most recently heading up the agency’s Worcester office. She will continue to report to owner Julia Williams who she will work closely with to develop the firm’s new Student Places sub-brand.
The Worcester-based agency has also made two further management appointments.
Andy Lloyd, 34, has been appointed as regional investment executive and returns to Premier Places where he was lettings director at the former Redditch office for four years between 2005 and 2009. He will be concentrating on regional growth, widening Premier Places’ property portfolio and managing the agency’s negotiation team.
Matt Sleep, 27, has been promoted to the role of lettings operations manager. He joined Premier Places in 2009 and was previously with Nationwide Building Society.
Julia Williams, owner of Premier Places, said: “We have set ourselves ambitious growth objectives for the next five years so it is vital we have a talented senior management team in place to make those ambitions a reality.
“As a business we are backing ourselves to win like never before. We have an exceptional team and these three appointments underline how ambitious we are to take Premier Places to a whole new level.”

Has all the money that went missing under the previous management been paid back to landlords and tenants?
Is this the same Mr Lloyd that, as you say, was a Director of Premier Places in Redditch who went bust after tenants' deposits went awry and who was working for a competitor within days of the doors closing?
I wouldn't put that job on my CV nor does it seem bright to advertise that the new “superstar” had been involved as a Director in a business that culminated in two people being found guilty of fraud (albeit not him personally).
Wasn't Mrs Williams' husband convicted for fraud as part of this fiasco?
Is this really the image that lettings agents want? I want to know if my letting agent has “history” and moreover want to avoid agents with a “history”. Surely tenants deserve proper regulation of agents?
