Queensland strata management company Archers have appointed a new CEO, with Nicky Lonergan taking on the leadership role last month.

Mrs Lonergan joins the company from specialist accountancy firm, SV Partners, where she was Chief Operations Officer.

Her appointment comes at a time of rapid growth within the industry, which has benefitted from a rise in residential apartment buildings.

Archers Chairman Colin Archer said Mrs Lonergan's hire represented an important part of the company's strategy going forward.

"Nicky is a professional services industry leader who brings a high level of business acumen to Archers as we go through an important growth phase,” he said.

“While we enjoy continued growth and success, the strategic CEO appointment has been made to ensure the business continues to leverage its existing strengths to drive and implement new strategies as the industry develops further with technological advancements.”

The role also signals a fresh start for Mrs Lonergan, who spent more than a decade at her previous employer.

She said she welcomed the opportunity to manage the growth of Archers while maintaining the highest quality of body corporate management services.

“Archers, which has six offices servicing regions from the Gold Coast to far North Queensland, is a trailblazer in the strata management industry and holds an eminent reputation within both its own sector and the multi-residential development industry throughout the state,” she said.

“I will be working with an exceptionally knowledgeable and dedicated executive management team to ensure continued growth across customer care, quality service delivery, effective operations and business development; ensuring growth does not compromise service.”
