Meet the Team – Rico Robinson

Block Management UK Ltd's new property manager has more than 15-years' experience in the business.

Rico Robinson, 36, joined the company at the end of October and is the first to work in BMUK's new Wakefield office.

Starting his career in sales, Rico said he enjoyed property management from the moment he tried it.

"I have been a property manager for the last 15 or 16 years," he said.

"I began my career working in sales for a company in Leeds and was doing that for a few years.

"Then I was then headhunted by a large Yorkshire lettings company, later moving into property management within the company, which I enjoyed from day one."

Rico said he moved to London around four years ago, securing a job in property management in the capital.

"I was working there when Covid happened and at that point decided to move back to Leeds, where I'm from.

"I was going back and forth, which was becoming a struggle, so was delighted to get a position at Block Management UK's new office in Wakefield."

Rico said he's enjoying his time at Block Management and is quickly settling into his new job.

"It is a great company to work for – it's going really well," he said.

"The company uses many of the same systems I have previously used in my career, so it has been a very smooth transition.

"I manage different types of properties than I did in London and there's a varied portfolio of properties I get to work on.

"I'm the first person to use our new offices in Wakefield, which is exciting.

"I'm looking forward to having more staff join me as we grow in the north of the UK."

Rico said in the future he would like to become part of the senior team at Block Management UK Ltd.

In his spare time, Rico enjoys being social with family and friends, dining out, reading, fashion and organising events for friends.
