A COMPANY that works across the Thames Valley has welcomed a new senior leader to its team.
SEGRO has appointed Anna Bond as its head of western corridor, the largest in the group.
She is responsible for the overall leadership of the company’s development and asset management activities across the region, which has £5.3bn of assets under management
With more than 20 years’ experience in the real estate sector, she is coming to the firm from Grosvenor’s UK property business, where she was responsible for the delivery and letting of the UK development pipeline across office, retail, residential and public realm.
Since joining Grosvenor in 2008, Ms Bond has held senior positions in its flagship London estate, including leading asset, investment and property management.
She has also driven Grosvenor’s first net-zero office building at Holbein Gardens in Belgravia and other recent development milestones.
Her new role starts in June, and she will be reporting to Segro’s managing director, James Craddock.
“Anna will be a fantastic asset for SEGRO, our customers and our partners,” he said.
“She brings a wealth of experience in development, investment, property and asset management, and her broad real estate background will offer different perspectives and complement the industrial and logistics expertise within the rest of our UK leadership and Western Corridor teams.
“This is an exciting time to take the reins of SEGRO’s Western Corridor region which is the largest in our Group by value.
“We have an ambitious 10-year vision for the Slough Trading Estate, which will enable diverse and sustainable job opportunities and economic growth.
“We also have a leading cluster of data centres which continues to enable our customers to meet soaring demand from cloud computing and the digital economy, and we’re focused on driving performance of our strategic assets at Heathrow Airport.”
