BPF hires Helen Gordon for junior vice president role

Grainger chief executive Helen Gordon has been appointed junior vice president of the British Property Federation. The appointment will see Gordon lead the industry lobby group in two years’ time. Segro chief executive David Sleath today stepped down as president and will be succeeded by Paul Brundage, executive vice president and senior managing director for Europe at Oxford Properties. Landsec chief executive Rob Noel has risen to vice president for the BPF. He will take over the reins from Brundage next year. BPF chief executive Melanie Leech said: “Although Paul now holds dual nationality, his appointment as the first non-British president of the BPF is truly a significant landmark. Equally, Helen’s appointment as the BPF’s new junior vice president is also a milestone, as only the second woman ever to join the BPF’s presidential team. These appointments, with Robert completing the team, demonstrate the BPF’s commitment to ensure a diverse range of views are helping to lead and shape our work.”  To send feedback, e-mail Louisa.Clarence-Smith@egi.co.uk or tweet @LouisaClarence or @estatesgazette
