Landsec’s Nick de Mestre has joined electric vehicle charging outfit RAW as its chief financial officer.
De Mestre joined Landsec in 2017 as head of investment for the FTSE 100 REIT’s London portfolio. He was most recently a member of the group executive committee with responsibility for strategy, research, sustainability, data and innovation.
Prior to joining Landsec he worked in the energy sector, leading M&A and business development for Centrica’s distributed energy and business solutions unit.
RAW chief executive Bruce Galliford said: “Nick’s expertise in the energy and property sectors will help us as we continue to deliver EV charging across the UK and Europe.”
De Mestre added: “I am excited to be joining RAW Charging at such a pivotal moment. The team has delivered significant growth in a short period of time, and I look forward to using my experience to help take the business to the next level.”
De Mestre joins at a time of rapid growth for RAW, following a capital fundraise to support its £250m EV charger installation plan.
RAW has recently installed charging facilities at the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet York, Crown Point Shopping Park in Leeds and has recently announced a community partnership with Oxford City Football Club. RAW has also launched the Charge Yard facility in Slough and has worked on a number of Greene King and Aviva sites across the UK.
