Phil Curwen
Executive Director
Phil is an Executive Director of Proseed Property Limited which he established in 2016. Proseed owns and operates a group of companies that focus on residential property lending, residential development, as well as providing development management services to banks and administrators.
Phil joined CSJ, the company from which Proseed was created, as Financial Director in 2010 and spent the first three years strategically and financially reorganising a £1bn residential property portfolio managed by CSJ.

During the reorganisation Phil acquired CSJ in partnership with the existing CEO, and negotiated management contracts with the new investors for the various residential portfolio assets.
Prior to this, Phil was the Financial Director and latterly the CEO for a UK-based residential mezzanine fund which invested into London residential development opportunities. Phil’s experience also includes a role as Group Financial Director for the Gladedale Group, the largest private residential developer in the UK with turnover of approximately £1bn.

Prior to this Phil worked for Rawlinson & Hunter, qualifying as a Chartered Accountant and leaving in 1997, to join a high net worth private client as Financial Director for their group of companies with business focused on property investment, retail stores and wholesale distribution.
