SME News - Managing Director of the Year Awards 2024/ 80 Property Solutions MD of the Year 2024 (South East England): Vashikeh Clarke & SME News Diversity & Inclusion Champion Award 2024 Star Property Group journey in the property industry back in 2010, Vashikeh came to gain extensive experience in handling lettings, block management, and asset management, be it for small or large scale developments. Motivated by the need to assist her mother with managing her property portfolio, Vashikeh developed an interest for the field. This led her to explore tenant management and property maintenance in depth, immersing herself in the intricacies of the industry. From here, Vashikeh furthered her experience through her work with Ellmans. Beginning in reception, she quickly ascended the ranks until she was supervising block management, before transitioning to a major player in Brighton’s property investment scene – Baron Homes. It was at this point that Vashikeh gained a thorough understanding of emergency housing contracts and complex development projects, allowing her to not only empower her existing knowledge, but offer all new approaches to new build projects and refurbishments. Though challenging and extensive, these endeavours granted Vashikeh invaluable insights into the trade – a tool that she would carry with her when she finally sought out change. This change manifested through her brave move to Jonathan Rolls – a role that allowed her to showcase her extensive expertise in not only managing properties, but interacting with and resolving complex leaseholder issues. Through these interactions, Vashikeh came into contact with a particularly tense situation that, funnily enough, involved one of Star’s CIC tenants. This connection, however ironic, presented Vashikeh with an entirely new opportunity that, finally, would allow her to realise the full potential lying in wait within her broad skillset. After finding herself on the property team, Vashikeh once again soared through the ranks until, eventually, she was appointed managing director of Star Property Group. Equipped with the talent needed to excel her team forward in the world of property management solutions, in partnership with a drive to make a real difference, Vashikeh stands as an award-winning example of someone who, through her own determination, has been able to succeed for the sake of others. For years, she has honed her skills and amplified her talents in the pursuit of uplifting Star Property Group – something that is showcased not only by the company’s continuous performance, but its commitment to supporting local charities and amplifying their voices alongside its own. It’s for this very reason that SME Magazine has recognised Vashikeh Clarke as one of 2024’s managing directors of the year. We look forward to seeing how she continues to empower Star Property Group in the coming years.
