Inspired Villages appoints Nick Edwards as CEO

Inspired Villages has appointed Nick Edwards, as its new Chief Executive Officer. Edwards has a wealth of experience and deep understanding of the later living sector, as former Chief Operating Officer of Audley Group. In this role he was responsible for growth, sales, marketing, operations, care, development, finance, technology and legal. Prior to Audley Group, he was Chief Financial Officer of Moorfield Group.

 

Edwards will look to successfully deliver the next phase of the business plan and remain committed to creating a world-class Integrated Retirement Community (IRC) operator and developer. Established in 2017, Inspired Villages is an award-winning operator and developer of later living communities in suburban and rural locations across the UK. It is backed by NatWest Group Pension Fund. 

 

Edwards replaces the outgoing CEO and chair of the business, Jamie Bunce and Phil Bayliss, who, alongside other members of the senior leadership team, Neal Dale, James Cobb and Lawrence Cramer, are stepping down from their roles to explore new ventures. Their deep contribution to the business over the past seven years has ensured solid foundations have been laid for the next phase of growth.
