The Investment Property Forum has appointed John Gellatly of BlackRock as vice-chairman.
He will take up the role at the IPF’s annual meeting in June when Peter Pereira Gray takes over as chairman.
Gellatly has been on the IPF management board since 2002 and is currently chair of the Research Steering Group and a member of the editorial board for the IPF journal Investment Property Focus.
“As vice-chairman I am looking forward to continuing to promote the work of the Forum in these challenging times. Events are unsettling but for the wise investor such times are ripe with opportunities,” he said.
In addition, two awards of life membership were made to Ian Marcus of Credit Suisse and Andy Martin of Strutt and Parker.
Life membership is bestowed upon people who have played a major role in the Investment Property Forum over the years.
