MacarthurCook goes happy headhunting

MACARTHURCOOK has strengthened its senior management team two new key appointments.

Andrew Bygrave has been appointed as new head of institutional business.

Bygrave has 10 years in investment banking, corporate finance and law across London, Sydney and Hong Kong. He has previously worked with Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse and Citigroup and is currently a solicitor.

Meanwhile, Stuart Milham has been appointed as new joint fund manager of the MacarthurCook Industrial Property Fund and will also be involved with acquisitions for the MacarthurCook Industrial REIT as well as driving industrial acquisitions in Europe and North America.

Milham has over 16 years commercial and legal experience in the property industry. Most recently he was senior legal counsel at Austock Property Funds Management.

MacarthurCook’s managing director Craig Dunstan said these new appointments come at a time when MacarthurCook is enjoying significant growth in global markets.

“In the last 12 months we have launched new investment products on the American, Singapore and Australian stock exchanges. While our immediate focus is on the promising Asian real estate markets, the American and European real estate markets also offer significant opportunities for MacarthurCook.

“Andrew and Stuart’s vast property experience strengthens our management platform, allowing us to effectively grow funds under management, develop and launch new products and widen our international focus,” Dunstan concluded.
