Ian Coull, one of the property industry’s most well-liked and respected figures, passed away in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The 65-year-old former SEGRO chief executive and former Scotland rugby international had been unwell for some time.
One of his last public appearances was at the British Property Federation annual dinner in November, where he was given a special award in recognition of his contribution to the industry.
Announcing his death, Coull’s family said his wishes were for a small private cremation, and a service of remembrance will be held in the coming weeks.
Coull retired from SEGRO in 2011 after eight years at the helm.
He was also formerly non-executive chairman of Galliford Try and held non-executive directorships at Oaktree Capital Management and car dealership Pendragon.
