One of the UK’s leading land, property and development companies has appointed a new CEO.
Henry Boot, with its headquarters in Banner Cross, Sheffield, announced the board appointment of Tim Roberts as CEO with effect from 1 January 2020.
Tim has spent 15 years running British Land’s office team as well as developing the strategy for its successful London office business; moving its focus towards more mixed-use campuses and retaining and attracting target customers.
Raised in Yorkshire, Tim commented: “I am very happy to have returned to my home city of Sheffield.
“Henry Boot is a long-standing, well established business which, over the years, has generated strong financial performance. It is in very good shape and I am joining a team that will not only continue to deliver strong returns, but also a business that has the organisational and capital structure to prosper.”
Chairman, Jamie Boot said: “We are delighted with the appointment of Tim, who stood out from our list of strong candidates due to his track record of success in property investment and development and his delivery of long-term value creation. On behalf of the board, I want to thank John for his dedication, professionalism and personal commitment through his time with Henry Boot and wish him well in his retirement.”
John Sutcliffe will remain in an advisory position with the company until the conclusion of the AGM on 21 May 2020, at which point he will retire and step down from the board.
