Natalie brings more than 12 years' experience in repairs and asset management, while also being a qualified chartered construction manager. Natalie's main responsibilities will include asset management programmes and post warranty maintenance.
Sigma has been successfully delivering PRS homes across the regions of the UK since 2015. Sigma created and subsequently launched The PRS REIT plc ('REIT'), which was floated in 2017. Sigma has now delivered over 3,100 homes across the UK on behalf of the REIT and once fully optimised is expected to be around 5,200 homes. In September 2020, Sigma announced the launch of a joint venture with EQT Real Estate to deliver high quality, new-build homes for private rent in Greater London. The joint venture is supported by Homes England, the housing agency of the UK Government and is targeting an initial portfolio of c.3,000 homes with a value in excess of £1bn. All homes are marketed under Sigma's dedicated and professional brand 'Simple Life' and its new brand for London 'Simple Life London'.
