Two Senior SEGRO Appointments to Drive Forward Potential of Newly Formed Group Business Development Team
SEGRO is pleased to announce two key appointments to its newly formed Group Business Development unit. Andrew Gulliford is to be Director of Logistics and Charles Pease is appointed Director of Corporate Partnership.
SEGRO recently announced the establishment of the Group Business Development team as part of a wider re-organisation, designed to ensure that SEGRO has the optimal interface with its major customers and markets. The Group Business Development function will consolidate and leverage pan-European key customer account relationships and areas of product specialisation.
As Director of Logistics, Andrew Gulliford will be responsible for developing this growing area of SEGRO’s business across Europe. Andrew joined SEGRO in 2004 as Director of Corporate Acquisitions in which role he has been responsible for major transactions in the UK. He is also a director of HelioSlough, SEGRO’s logistics joint venture in the UK. Prior to joining SEGRO Andrew spent 19 years at Jones Lang LaSalle where he became European Director for Industrial Services.
In his role as Director of Corporate Partnership, Charles Pease will work with SEGRO’s major corporate customers on their real estate requirements right across Europe. Charles was previously Director of European Operations, based in Paris. Prior to joining SEGRO he spent 10 years with General Electric in various positions including head of Corporate Real Estate for Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Andrew and Charles report to Walter Hens, Group Business Development Director.
Walter Hens, Group Business Development Director said:
“I am delighted with these two appointments. Between them Andrew and Charles have a huge knowledge of our markets and our clients, and this will be invaluable to us as we build on our existing major customer relationships and market segment specialisations to generate new opportunities for profitable growth across the Group.”
