VAS Group has announced four promotions, which in turn has led to two new director roles.

Louise Chapman, who started in November 2017, is now operations director and will control the day-to-day running of VAS Panel. This includes relationship management with both new and existing clients and organising its dedicated panel of valuers.

Lisa Southall is to become finance and compliance director. Having originally joined the team in March 2019 she will now be responsible for all aspects of finance and audit control.

Both Chapman and Southall will report to VAS Group’s co-founders, Gina May and Stephen Todd.

Meanwhile, Natalie Keenan, who started in August 2018 has been promoted to operations manager while Mollie McLoughlin, who joined in October 2018 has been promoted to assistant operations manager.

May said: “I truly believe we have one of the best and most dedicated teams in the valuations market and their level of commitment has to be recognised. Louise, Lisa, Natalie and Molly all deserve their promotion because of the leading roles they have played in building the business, and their vision for its future.”

“The Group has reached a level where the company requires a far more traditional board structure to meet all future growth aims,” added Todd. “For these roles we only had to look at the people within the business because we have so many exceptional staff who will rise to the challenge.”
