SEGRO has hired Derwent London director Simon Fraser and Rentokil non-executive director Linda Yueh as non-executive directors.
Fraser and Yueh will join the industrial REIT’s remuneration, nomination and audit committees, with Fraser replacing Christopher Fisher as remuneration committee chair in July.
Fraser is a former investment banker, having spent the majority of his career with Bank of America Merrill Lynch where he was appointed managing director and co-head of the corporate broking division in 2004.
Yueh has held non-executive roles at Baillie Gifford’s Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust and JP Morgan’s Asian Investment Trust. She was also chief business correspondent for BBC News from 2013-2015.
SEGRO chair Gerald Corbett said: “Simon brings a wealth of experience and understanding of several corporate sectors, of boards and of the public equity markets from his time in investment banking and, more recently, as a non-executive director.
“Linda brings great knowledge and insight into the economic, technological and broader trends impacting our customers and markets, as well as good corporate, legal and boardroom experience.
“I am confident they will add new and diverse perspectives to the board as we continue to deliver on our customer-led growth strategy and the implementation of our Responsible SEGRO ESG framework.”
