There is a major shake-up at Keller Williams UK (KWUK) following the publication of a brief press release a short while ago. The changes may be connected to a Notice in the London Gazette issued today inviting creditors of KWUK license holder, Grifettey Limited, to a virtual limited meeting on 11 March 2024.
According to Companies House, the accounts for Grifettey Limited are overdue.
Grifettey Limited is headed up by Ben Taylor, formerly CEO of KWUK, who is believed to have been the licensee for the Keller Williams UK operation.
Taylor became executive chairman of Keller Williams UK last year and continued to be the regional operating partner for the UK business. But it is not clear what his situation is now that Grifettey Limited has called a creditors meeting.
The Notice on London Gazette states:
The press release issued this evening make no reference to Grifettey Limited. Instead it says:
“Keller Williams Announces New Chapter in the United Kingdom
“Keller Williams Worldwide (KWW), the international division of Keller Williams, the world’s largest real estate franchise by agent count, is reorganizing its KW United Kingdom region.

“We view change as an opportunity to grow and improve,” said William E. Soteroff, president of KWW. “Our recent changes within KW United Kingdom are no exception. We remain fully committed to our mission of transforming lives through real estate in the United Kingdom.”

Andrew Benn, Operating Principal of the KW Advantage market centre shared, “On behalf of my fellow KW market center leaders, we are excited to continue operations focused on growth and support of all our agents.
