Legacie, a full-service property developer, contractor and operator, headquartered in the North West, is pleased to announce the appointment of two leaders to the Board, further reinforcing its ambitious growth trajectory.
Mick Slater joins as Chief Financial Officer, bringing a wealth of experience in real estate, having spent the past eleven years at leading residential and student accommodation developer and operator Vita Group, where he played a key role in scaling operations and securing funding for major development projects across the UK and internationally. Mick has over 30 years’ experience across practice and industry, specialising in supporting high-growth businesses through structural change, funding and expansion. His appointment marks a significant milestone as Legacie continues to expand into the Build to Rent (BTR) sector, diversifying its portfolio.
Mick’s appointment coincides with the promotion of Gavin Currie to Chief Operating Officer. Since joining Legacie in 2021, Gavin has worked closely with the Founder and Chief Executive Officer, John Morley to lead all project operations, pivot the business into new markets such as social housing, and implement robust governance and systems across all divisions. Gavin has also been instrumental in embedding a high-performance culture aligned with Legacie’s values as a community-focused developer.
Legacie’s rapid growth over the past three years — a doubling of headcount to over 150 employees and £140 million turnover — reflects the success of its strategic direction and operational excellence.
These leadership changes come at a pivotal time, as Legacie positions itself for continued growth in the Build-to-Rent BTR and social housing markets across the North West and beyond. With a strong pipeline of large-scale, community-led developments, the appointments provide the vision and structure to support the company’s next chapter.
John Morley, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Legacie, added:
“We are delighted to welcome Mick to the team. His financial insight and industry experience will be invaluable as we continue to grow and diversify. With Gavin’s promotion to Chief Operating Officer and Mick joining as Chief Financial Officer, we have significantly strengthened our leadership team to deliver on our long-term ambition to be a leading BTR provider in the UK.”
Legacie is committed to being an award-winning, turnkey property developer, contractor, and operator, known for delivering high-quality developments that regenerate underused spaces, create thriving communities, and support local employment. Our focus is on making a lasting, positive social impact in every project we deliver.
Together, these appointments reinforce a leadership team equipped to drive Legacie’s next phase of strategic growth.
