Connells Group names lettings operations director

Connells Group, a high street estate agency and property services provider, has announced a key appointment in its lettings operation.

Ian Culbert (pictured), who has been with Countrywide for over 20 years, has been promoted to the role of national lettings operations director.

Previously a divisional managing director within the Countrywide North businesses, Culbert will now be responsible for all branch lettings activity inside Countrywide North and South.

Priding itself on rewarding internal talent, Connells said Culbert was promoted due to his wealth of lettings experience and overseeing the significant growth in Countrywide North in recent years.

In 2021, Connells Group completed the acquisition of Countrywide. The group now manages over 150,000 tenancies, boosting its claim of being the country’s biggest lettings business.

Commenting on his promotion, Culbert said,“It’s an exciting time not only within the lettings industry but also within Countrywide and the wider Connells Group

“We have never been in better shape to deliver for both our customers and organisation alike, and I am delighted to play my part.”
