SEGRO’s chief operating officer, Andy Gulliford, will leave the business next year after almost two decades with the company.
The industrial REIT will launch a hunt for Gulliford’s successor and confirm the precise date of his retirement “in due course”.
Gulliford joined the company in 2004, was named COO in 2011 and joined the board in 2013.
Chief executive David Sleath said Gulliford had played “a vital role in the growth and success of the company, particularly over the past decade”, adding: “At a personal level, he has provided tremendous support to me and the board and, throughout the organisation, he is regarded as a wonderful colleague to work with. He will retire with our very best wishes for the future.”
Gulliford said: “Being part of such a talented team has been a huge privilege. I will leave a strong, successful business which I am confident will continue to thrive. I’ll miss it greatly, particularly my colleagues. In the meantime, there is still much to do, and it will be business as usual until then.”
