About

Created in 2022 by Mark Bourgeois, one of the UK's most experienced and respected leaders in the operation and development of complex urban estates, Velement dedicated to help people thrive.

Recognising that people are key to unlocking real estate performance, Velement offers contemporary team and individual development programmes, provides strategic advice to real estate leaders, and coaches rising stars to reach their full potential.

Applying FTSE leadership and certified coaching experience, Velement also delivers Interim assignments, and will undertake a range of bespoke projects, aiming to create value from complexity, at pace.

Why?

Great places happen when talented people collaborate to do brilliant things, albeit combining people effectively has never been more challenging. Organisations face complexity, uncertainty, dislocated markets and the expectation of doing more with less financially. That all brings huge opportunities whilst placing unprecedented levels of pressure on todays real estate leaders and professionals.

Velement has been created to help real estate people  seize those opportunities whilst managing the human risks associated with such a dynamic environment. 

Velement is different. There are plenty of coaches out there, but few with a unique combination of  senior real estate leadership and certified contemporary coaching techniques. We've been there, we understand the industry and have a deep playbook to help address the most complex challenges.

Our ambition is to take personal awareness and team effectiveness to new levels in real estate. We are driven to help people thrive in their careers whilst leading fulfilled, earned lives. We know that those personal outcomes will drive organisations to success.

Because great people make great places.

Who for?

Velement works across the real estate ecosystem, supporting listed and private developers, UK and global institutions, private equity, lenders, providers of professional services, central government, local authorities and occupiers.
