CEO MONTHLY / Chairperson Awards 2022 8 Asset Management Chairman of the Year 2022: Dave Webster Industry experience is something that the Chairman of the Seventy Ninth Group, Dave Webster, understands very well. As a fast-growing and award-winning name in property and natural resource investment, Seventy Ninth Group is expanding greatly. Dave’s three decades of industry experience have helped create an extraordinarily successful firm that has made waves across the UK and international markets – and a look into his operations will reveal precisely how. ave Webster’s journey in the property sector began in 1991. Realising the incredible opportunity and untapped potential, he purchased a buy-tolet property in Anfield, Liverpool. From here, seeds for the Seventy Ninth Group, of which he is now the chairman, were sown. After 30 successful years, including time as a globally recognised consultant, he founded Seventy Ninth Luxury Living in 2017. Building from his previous decades of experience, it operates in property development and acquisition, intending to develop maximum value from each project. For its clients, it creates unrivalled investment opportunities within the UK property market, acquiring, developing and marketing top-quality property assets – alongside professional partners – to secure profits for all involved. This project exploded onto the market and has been met with colossal, unmitigated success. So much so that the business developed and expanded further in 2020. At this point, Dave appointed a team of industry experts, including his sons Jake and Curtis, and founded the asset management company the Seventy Ninth Group. As a family-owned asset management company, the Seventy Ninth group leverages a unique position for its brands and operations across the real estate and natural resources sectors. Over the brief but fruitful period since its establishment, it has brought many of Dave’s entrepreneurial projects under a single brand, with the benefits of the board and leadership team’s collective industry experience poised to see them grow to new heights. The board quickly saw the expected growth; by the end of 2020, the group and its subsidiaries worked closely with over three hundred private and institutional investors from over twentythree countries. The group also expanded into additional global markets – from Canada to Gibraltar and the United States of America. With its launch of a record number of projects across the United Kingdom’s real estate sector, the Seventy Ninth Group became one of the UK’s fastestgrowing asset management companies, renowned for its expertise in operating in distressed market conditions. Owing the lion’s share of its success to Dave Webster’s sterling leadership and the team he constructed to enact the company’s vision. Its prime objective is to create value for those Seventy Ninth Group work with, taking advantage of its experience to embrace and develop exciting investment opportunities while capitalising on its established relationships. By collaborating closely with its stakeholders and partners, Seventy Ninth Group aims to be true to its strapline and invest different – and thus, successfully, specialising in the acquisition and development of distressed assets.

Alongside this, the property model that Dave and his team implemented is constantly adapting to respond better to industry disruptions. From the staycation sector to the shared office space boom, Seventy Ninth Group is always ahead of, and on top of, all changes.
