Nasr assumes the Managing Partner role, following a period of 11 years under the previous leadership, which capped a 35-year tenure with the firm. \u201cIt\u2019s exciting!\u00a0 We have a very solid foundation, but this really is a refresh. A fresh start.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nasr’s appointment comes at a pivotal time, following a decade of expansion that saw RFB establish a presence in Manchester<\/a> en Exeter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “We build upon a strong legacy, and now, we are poised to accelerate our growth and innovation. This is about<\/a> harnessing our 78 years of expertise and propelling RFB into a dynamic future. We’ve laid a solid foundation, and now, it’s time to build upon it with a renewed focus and strategic<\/a> vision.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe’re building on something that’s already strong, but with a fresh perspective. I have a lot of new ideas. And I feel really supported by this incredible partnership<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nasr initially worked for RFB in London<\/a>, before family commitments meant a return to the North. Having mooted the idea of a Manchester office, she was delighted to head up the new offering when it opened in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nasr remains located in Manchester, though travelling frequently<\/a> to London. Her appointment reflects the RFB ethos of recognising talent, rather than limitations. It also reinforces the idea of one firm, rather than a London team<\/a> with satellite offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen we were making the decision as to who would take over, it was about who was the best person for the job and not letting locatie<\/a> hinder that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nasr\u2019s appointment also reflects RFB\u2019s commitment to nurturing the broadest range of talent and reflecting the diversity<\/a> of its client base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am very aware that I’m representing a minority. When the announcement was made to the firm, I received some really nice emails, colleagues saying they’re so happy that I’m continuing to reflect the firms forward looking approach. I feel incredibly proud to be part of such a diverse business<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having taken on larger premises to accommodate its growing Manchester team, Nasr\u2019s plans include a move to combine the London offices. She is also looking to build on RFB\u2019s established strength in property with expanded offerings in real estate financi\u00ebn<\/a> and construction, while increasing non-property work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe’ve always been dynamic. We’ve never taken the relationship we have built with our staff or clients for granted. We always understand the need to continue to adapt to the changing needs of our clients.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n My vision is to drive RFB’s growth through strategic innovation, ensuring<\/a> we deliver exceptional value to our clients. This means not just expanding our reach, but deepening our expertise and enhancing the client experience. It\u2019s about adding value. We zal<\/a> attract and empower business-minded individuals who share our commitment to excellence and who are eager to contribute to RFB’s next phase of success.\u00a0 By fostering a culture of innovation and a deep commitment to our clients, we will not only elevate our firm but also empower our clients to achieve their ambitions.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n
