Career View: Charlie Baxter, MD and Co-founder, Alchemi Group

We speak exclusively to Charlie Baxter, managing director and co-founder of Alchemi Group, about his career and experiences in the housebuilding and development, what his job involves and his advice for people considering working in the property industry.

Please tell us a little about yourself, Alchemi Group and your current role.

I founded Alchemi Group with my wife, interior designer Laura Marino (of Studio L, London) in 2002. We began refurbishing a number of one-off apartments simultaneously and purchasing air rights. A few years into doing that, we bought a hotel and received planning permission to convert it into flats. That organically led to us scaling up to larger developments by 2009. As managing director and co-founder (and an entrepreneur), my role is to set the direction of the company and its policies; I also look to find site locations and help raise funds tor exciting future projects. My innate passion and knowledge of property comes from my dynamic and entrepreneurial mother who developed a vast portfolio - and is still at it at 81 !
