Retirement villages provider Audley Group has appointed two of its senior management team to the executive board: Philip Rolfe, development director, and Sian Hammer, who becomes group sales and marketing director.

Rolfe joined Audley three years ago, having worked in partnership with Audley for many years prior to joining and has experience of the retirement living sector. He will be responsible for all pre-development and construction of Audley’s new villages.

Hammer is an experienced sales and marketing director who joined Audley in 2021. She has experience in delivering organic and acquisitive growth and leads the sales and marketing functions across both Audley and Mayfield villages.

Nick Sanderson, chief executive of Audley Group, said: “In Sian and Phil we are lucky to have two of the most experienced and talented people in the sector. Having the right people to define and then deliver a vision for the future of Audley Group across both development and operations is essential.  Sian and Phil will help us do just that and drive forward the work that is already underway.

“The appointments are recognition of their hard work at the very heart of what we do; develop, operate and market luxury retirement villages.

Audley Group has a portfolio of 20 villages across luxury and mid-priced models.
