Industry veterans land high-profile board roles

LSL Property Services has appointed Michael Stoop to its board as a non-executive director.

He brings significant experience in estate agency and franchising which he has gained from his roles at Winkworth, Legal & General, and Belvoir Group plc. 

It comes after LSL franchised its estate agency arm last year and said it has been performing better since.

Stoop is currently an industry board member of The Property Ombudsman, where he also chairs the Finance & Performance Committee. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, and a Fellow of the National Association of Estate Agents.

Adrian Collins, chairman of LSL, said: “I am delighted to welcome Michael Stoop.

“Michael brings a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record of success in the estate agency franchise market. His deep understanding of latest market trends, and keen eye for identifying lucrative opportunities, will prove invaluable as we implement our exciting plans for growth in this sector."

Meanwhile Kerfuffle and Relocation Agent Network boss Simon Whale has added a new role to his CV after being appointed to the board of virtual tour and floorplan provider Made Snappy 360.

He already serves on the boards of Prospector Pro and Agents Giving.

Whale added: "I am excited to join the Made Snappy board, leveraging my experience to drive innovation and foster growth. Together, we aim to deliver unparalleled value and service to our clients."
