Catella APAM appoints facilities management lead

Independent investment and asset manager Catella APAM, based in London and Manchester, has strengthened its property and facilities management capability with the appointment of Richard Stackhouse as facilities management lead.

Richard brings more than 25 years’ experience, having previously led facilities management teams at GVA and Lambert Smith Hampton. 

Most recently, he spent seven years at commercial property developer and investment manager CEG, overseeing facilities management and service charge delivery across its UK portfolio.

His experience spans new-build offices, mixed-use and regeneration schemes, major refurbishments and trophy assets, covering the full asset lifecycle from mobilisation to optimisation.

In his new role, Richard will lead Catella APAM’s national facilities management team, focusing on compliance, service delivery, supplier performance and operational improvement to support asset performance and long-term value across client portfolios.

He said: “What attracted me to Catella APAM is the collaborative approach between asset management, property management and facilities management teams, as well as the strength and diversity of the portfolio. 

“I’m looking forward to bringing my experience to support the team and continuing to raise service standards for our clients and occupiers.”

Kate Hackett, head of property management (North) at Catella APAM, added: “Richard’s appointment is an important step in the continued growth of our property and facilities management offer. 

“His experience in leading national teams and delivering operational improvements across complex assets will add real value to both our clients and our site teams. We’re delighted to welcome him to the business.”

Victoria Morgan, head of asset management at Catella APAM, added: “Property and facilities management are critical to delivering our asset management strategies and driving value for clients. 

“A genuinely integrated approach delivers stronger NOI outcomes than segregated services, as our teams work together to scrutinise performance data, control costs and strengthen tenant engagement. 

“Richard’s experience will further enhance how we unlock opportunities and deliver measurable performance improvements across our portfolio.”
