SEGRO has appointed former Grosvenor executive director Anna Bond as head of western corridor, leading its Thames Valley and Heathrow operations.
At Grosvenor, Bond was responsible for the delivery and letting of the UK development pipeline across office, retail, residential and public realm.
She also held senior positions in Grosvenor’s flagship London estate since joining the company in 2008.
These included leading its asset, investment and property management initiatives. She was also behind its first net-zero office building at Holbein Gardens in Belgravia, and other recent development milestones.
Bond left Grosvenor earlier this year after it merged its investment and development arms, with Rachel Dickie leading the combined team.
In her new role, Bond will lead the SEGRO’s development and asset management activities across the Thames Valley, including the Slough Trading Estate, as well as Heathrow Airport and the M4 corridor portfolio.
This region has £5.3bn of assets under management, making it the largest in the group.
Bond will join SEGRO on 10 June and become a member of the company’s UK leadership team, reporting to UK managing director James Craddock.
Craddock said: “2024 is an exciting time to take the reins of SEGRO’s Western Corridor region which is the largest in our group by value.
“We have an ambitious 10-year vision for the Slough Trading Estate, which will enable diverse and sustainable job opportunities and economic growth.
“We also have a leading cluster of data centres which continues to enable our customers to meet soaring demand from cloud computing and the digital economy, and we’re focused on driving performance of our strategic assets at Heathrow Airport.”
