Green said: “I am thrilled to be part of the growth story of a business that is opening up property investing to potentially millions of investors who have traditionally found it difficult or impossible to access this asset class.

Fred Bristol, Brickowner’s Co-founder and CEO, said: “We are growing fast and adding new investors and investment opportunities all the time. This requires us to have a solid grip on the regulatory and risk-based issues at the meeting place of technology and property investing. Kenneth brings a wealth of experience, expertise and insight to Brickowner as well as an obvious passion for risk and compliance that has already impressed our partners.”
