James Peggie is stepping down as an independent non-executive director of Sirius Real Estate at the company’s annual general meeting next month.
He will be replaced by Deborah Davis, who has previously held senior roles at PayPal, eBay, Symantec and Verizon Business, with effect from 1 December 2024.
Peggie has been on the Sirius board since November 2012 and during his tenure he was senior independent director for five years, chair of Sirius’ remuneration committee for six years and also stood in twice as board interim chair.
Daniel Kitchen, chair of Sirius Real Estate, said: “Deborah has impressive credentials as a respected board member across a range of listed, private and social enterprise organisations. She specifically brings a wealth of experience in growth, change and digital transformation in some of the largest technology companies in the world and will provide valuable insights as we continue to develop the use of technology in our business parks and our operating platform, as well as with helping us optimise our impact on society. We are confident that Deborah will be a valuable addition to our board.
“James has made an outstanding contribution to the board during his tenure which started in 2012 when the company was a £60m AIM-listed company. He has acted as senior independent director, interim board chair, chair of the remuneration committee and as a member of the audit and nomination committees. We thank him for his incredible support to the company and the management team over the last 12 years.”
