During the course of his 30-year career in real estate, Croft has been involved in more than €12bn of transactions across the UK and Europe.
As well as his responsibility for leading the strategic direction of M7 Real Estate and capital raising, Croft is a non-executive director of IPSX, the Red Cat Pub Company, the Pinnacle Group and a trustee of the Chicken Shed Theatre Group charity.
David Pralong, managing partner of Maya Capital, said Croft’s “significant experience through a number of market cycles and, in particular, in growing M7 Real Estate into a leading investment manager, will prove invaluable to Maya Capital”.
Pralong added: “Maya Capital has grown extensively lately investing into residential and hotel sectors in the UK and Europe as it continues its focus on growth sectors within gateway cities.”
