New Managing Director announced for Liberty
After overseeing the transition of Liberty to Wates, Ray Jones has decided to leave the business following six years as Group Managing Director.
Ray has been a pivotal figure in Liberty’s journey to join the Wates Property Services team as well as overseeing growth of the business, which delivers property maintenance for 186,000 UK homes, plus heating & compliance and decarbonisation expertise.
Steve Jackson has been appointed to the role of Managing Director for Liberty.
Steve brings a wealth of experience to the role, with more than 35 years in the industry, and 28 years at Wates. He has spent 24 years specialising in social housing and was instrumental in creating Wates’ retrofit proposition. Having already been working closely with the Liberty team, he will focus on effectively integrating the team as well as growing the business in the coming years.
Steve was a founding board member of Wates Property Services on its formation in 2006 and has since held numerous senior positions including Director of Operations,
Regional Managing Director and most recently, Strategy Director, affording him a wealth of industry knowledge and experience to drive Liberty forward.
We thank Ray for his contribution to the Liberty team and wish Steve the best in taking the business forward.
