This follows the resignation of David Lundholm, who joined to launch asserta in 2000.
Adam Valkin, Board Director of asserta comments “David Lundholm has made a very significant contribution to the successful growth of asserta, and the Board thanks him for all his hard and productive work. David has ensured that Jim Buckle is in place to take asserta forward to the next stage of growth.” Jim Buckle joined asserta as Finance Director in February 2003, after working at the BBC, Dell Computers and KPMG.
Jim Buckle comments “I am very pleased to have been promoted to this important role at this exciting time in asserta’s development. assertahome.com’s new improved website offers a superior user experience which has resulted in much accolade from both consumers and agents alike. propertyfinder.co.uk, our upmarket London based website, and our completely revised GMW products are also winning fresh acclaim and new customers.”
David Lundholm comments: “I am happy that this is now the right time to be handing over to Jim Buckle. Since joining to develop asserta in 2000, I’ve seen it through its creation and launch, the subsequent acquisition of propertyfinder, the restructuring of the business towards profitability and the management buyout from Aviva PLC last March. After very strong revenue growth, the business is now operating at breakeven, with a continued opportunity for substantial and profitable growth. I would like to wish Jim Buckle every success in his new role.”
