Leeds-headquartered development, construction and real estate management business, Torsion Group, has promoted David Worsley to chief operating officer (COO).
During his six years at the company, Worsley has been responsible for assembling the development of more than 3,200 PBSA beds and 1,150 residential apartments.
He has generated more than £710 million of capital, including institutional and private equity.
As COO, Worsley will focus on identifying key development opportunities, securing large-scale funding, and negotiating joint venture partnerships to continue place-making and deliver the wider group business plan.
This extends to Torsion Developments, Torsion Construction, Torsion Homes, and Luna Students.
Complementing Worsley’s promotion, Ed Wootton becomes managing director (MD) for the construction and developments divisions.
