Private client private equity investment house Growthdeck has launched a new business line focussed on the acquisition of UK commercial property.

The firm, which serves high-net worth investors, has appointed Xavier Pullen as chairman of Growthdeck Property.

He was co-founder and managing director of Capital & Regional, where he worked for over 30 years, helping to grow net assets from £7 million in 1986 to over £700 million when he left in 2013.
