Bruntwood SciTech has named Chris Oglesby, its executive chair, as chief executive.
Oglesby takes the role from Kate Lawlor, joint chief executive and chief financial officer. Kevin Crotty will take on the finance post.
Bruntwood SciTech recently received a £500m investment from Greater Manchester Pension Fund, backing the company’s strategy to build a £5bn UK-wide portfolio supporting 2,600 life sciences and technology businesses by 2032.
Oglesby said: “As we enter into the next phase of Bruntwood SciTech’s growth, we continue to set ourselves ambitious targets… and I am confident that the strength of the people we have within the business will get us there.”
Thanking Lawlor, Oglesby said: “Her passion, perseverance and dedication to succeed over the past 12 years, since she initially joined as head of taxation and treasury for Bruntwood, have allowed both Bruntwood and Bruntwood SciTech to become the successful businesses that they are.”
