Evolve is led by an experienced team of property professionals headed up by our CEO, Benjamin Hume, and senior department managers. Between us, we bring over 50 years of experience across independent, regional and national managing agents. Having worked within businesses of all sizes, we understand what leaseholders, residents’ management companies and freeholders should expect from a managing agent; clear communication, practical advice and a proactive approach. As an independent managing agent, we pride ourselves on combining professional expertise with a personal and approachable service.
