Julian Vickery, a co-founder of developer Co-Re, has died at the age of 69.
Vickery started his career working for a main contractor and then for Aviva before he joined Greycoat in the 1980s.
In 2000 he established Co-Re alongside Chris Strickland, who retired last year, and chairman David Ainsworth.
Vickery worked on office development projects in London including Moor House, Watermark Place, 20 Gresham Street and 20 Ropemaker. He retired as a director in 2020 but remained a consultant to the company.
He was co-author of the first edition of the British Council for Offices’ Guide to Specification, represented the British Property Federation for a decade on the Joint Contracts Tribunal, and chaired the formation of the Major Projects Forum and the Pre-construction Services Agreement.
Ainsworth said: “Everyone who met Julian knew that he was passionate about the industry. He built great relationships across many generations of clients, consultants and contractors, and through professionalism, determination and a wicked sense of humour he achieved so much. He was devoted to his family, and we offer our condolences to his wife Valerie, daughter Amy and grandson Daniel.”
