Segro has made four appointments to its UK senior management team following its recent shake-up and expansion of its executive committee and organisation.
The industrial REIT said the appointments would support UK managing director, James Craddock, in the delivery of its strategy.
Dan Holford has been appointed head of national markets. He will be responsible for leading Segro’s development and asset management activities outside London and the South East.
Holford joined Segro in 2021 as a technical development director and was responsible for leading development activity in the Thames Valley, including the Slough Trading Estate. He previously worked for construction consultancy Feasibility, where he spent 14 years and developed expertise in the delivery of modern industrial space across the UK.
Bonnie Minshull will be head of London and responsible for leading Segro’s development and asset management activities in the capital.
Minshull has been a director of Segro’s Greater London business unit since 2021. In the role she focused on asset management of the existing portfolio in north, south and east London. She was previously a director within the national industrial and logistics team at Savills, and held positions at commercial real estate services firm DTZ and property consultancy, King Sturge.
Stuart McCallion is now head of technical development, UK and will be responsible for Segro’s construction and refurbishment activities, including leading its efforts to reduce embodied carbon.
McCallion joined Segro in 2022 as technical development director for the Greater London business unit. As a chartered civil engineer, he has delivered large and complex multi-disciplinary projects, focusing primarily on infrastructure, logistics and warehousing. He has held a variety of technical roles at organisations including Amazon, Valor, Gatwick Airport and served with the Royal Engineers in the British Army.
Sean Doherty becomes head of investment, UK and is responsible for leading Segro’s portfolio management and investment activities across the UK.
He has been promoted from his role as investment director for Segro’s Greater London business unit. He has previously developed a wealth of experience working over eight years in a variety of investment and finance roles for Segro in the UK and Continental Europe. Prior to joining Segro, he spent six years with EY in London and New York.
Segro said an announcement would be made in due course about the commercial leadership of the Western Corridor portfolio, comprising the Thames Valley and Heathrow.
The new roles will take effect from 1 October.
Craddock said in a statement: “Adapting to change is a thread that runs throughout Segro’s story over the last hundred years, and this latest evolution of our UK business is an example of how we are continuing to adapt to meet the needs of our customers, communities and other stakeholders."
