Kingsbridge are seeking an Asset Manager to join our in-house professional team based in Tangmere, near Chichester.

Kingsbridge is a privately-owned commercial developer and investor operating across the South of England.

The company was founded by Robert Langmead in 2004 and has expanded rapidly with a portfolio of projects. Now led by CEO, Chris Fry, a former Fund Manager who joined the business in April 2018, Kingsbridge is focused on developing and transforming industrial & logistics, office and urban mixed-use schemes across the south. Our strategy is to work with like-minded partners to create highly sustainable and best-in-class assets, with the values of responsibility and community.

The business holds a core portfolio of assets generating income to cover business overheads and to deliver a base level of return. This is in addition to an ‘active portfolio’, with capital recycled through development and value-add style projects to generate higher returns.

Our in-house professional team are responsible for working collaboratively to deliver projects and ensuring a maximum return is achieved from our assets.
