SEGRO has made changes to its executive team, after confirming that Andy Gulliford will be retiring as chief operating officer in June.
SEGRO said it was expanding its executive leadership structure to reflect the increased scale and footprint of its operations.
Thames Valley head James Craddock has been promoted to managing director UK, while Marco Simonetti has been promoted from his role as managing director of SEGRO’s Southern Europe business unit to managing director Continental Europe.
Paul Dunne, currently managing director for group operations, has been promoted to the newly created role of group customer and operations director.
And Andrew Pilsworth, currently managing director of SEGRO’s national logistics business unit, has been promoted to chief of staff, working closely with chief executive David Sleath.
All four have been appointed to the REIT’s executive committee, with the new roles taking effect from 1 July 2023.
Sleath said: “Our existing operating model has served us well over the last decade as we have grown into one of Europe’s largest and best-performing property companies. While we can be proud of our achievements to date, we remain ambitious for further growth, success and continued exemplary customer service. The time is right to evolve our organisational model to take full advantage of the exciting opportunities ahead.”
