HGP, the Lloyds-backed equity investor in the UK Living sector, has appointed Chris Hall as Investment Manager in its South West team, following the opening of its Bristol office in October 2024.

Chris, who brings more than seven years’ of real estate financing experience, joins HGP from Maslow Capital, where he was an Associate in the Deal Execution team, responsible for underwriting, executing and managing transactions ranging from £10m to £300m.

Prior to his role at Maslow Capital, Chris spent four years at the Bank of London & The Middle East latterly serving as a Relationship Manager. Here, Chris originated a wide range of complex investment and development projects across various asset classes, while managing a large loan portfolio.

At HGP, Chris will work closely with Alex Maltby, Investment Director, who leads HGP’s Bristol office, to identify development opportunities and real estate developers in the South West region that would benefit from equity investment and from HGP’s panel of senior advisers.

HGP’s equity sits alongside its development partners, accelerating the delivery of residential projects across all Living sectors in the UK including build-to-rent, student accommodation and co-living.

Alex Maltby, Investment Director, South West, at HGP, commented:

“Building our regional presence is a key priority at HGP, especially in the South West where we have only recently opened an office. Chris will make an excellent addition to the team with his deep industry expertise and we look forward to working with him.”
