Dennis Baylin

Dennis founded telecommunications company, Betacom Plc, in 1966, growing it to become the second largest supplier of phones in the UK behind BT. Having sold the company in 1987, he continued as it’s Chairman, steering the company through its flotation onto the main market of the London Stock Exchange in 1989 and departing in 1991.

Towards the end of his tenure at Betacom, Dennis formed Executec Ltd, a property development and management business. Since 1991, he has focussed his energies on expanding the property portfolio. Dennis took this to a higher level in 1997 when he joined forces with Simon to establish London & County.

Together they develop and manage a variety of large and small commercial and residential properties.
