AVID Property Group (AVID) has announced the appointment of a new executive to head its operations in Victoria, representing a new era of leadership for the growing residential developer.
Penny Forrest was appointed by AVID as General Manager Victoria, bringing nearly 30 years of industry experience and state knowledge to the role.
Ms Forrest, who most recently held executive leadership roles at Development Victoria and Peet Limited, said she was energised by the opportunity to join the award-winning developer and collaborate with a team dedicated to people-centred communities.
“Joining AVID is a meaningful next step in my career, and I am excited to work alongside a likeminded team to drive community development across Victoria,” Ms Forrest said.
“AVID’s thriving project portfolio and focus on building truly liveable communities motivated me to explore a career with the industry-leading organisation, but it was the wider strategic vision and commitment to customer that sealed my decision to join.
“I am thrilled with the opportunity to bring new energy and expertise to the AVID Victoria team to realise strategic initiatives across our projects and local communities.”
AVID CEO Cameron Holt said the appointment represented an exciting new chapter for the developer, with its projects to benefit from Ms Forrest’s fresh perspective and broad industry experience.
“Penny is a dynamic addition to the AVID team and a perfect fit for our growing business, bringing with her invaluable knowledge and insights we can leverage to drive our growing Victoria portfolio,” Mr Holt said. Â
“AVID is proud of our continued investment in top industry talent, and nurturing leaders who will bring our ambitious strategy to life for years to come.”Â
