Landsec has appointed Alice Webb as chief executive officer of MediaCity in Salford.
She will join Landsec in September 2025 from Universal Music Group where she served as the founding CEO of Mercury Studios. Prior to that, she held senior leadership positions at the BBC, including director of children’s and education, overseeing CBeebies and CBBC.
Earlier in her career at the BBC, she served as chief operating officer of BBC North, directing the broadcaster’s landmark relocation to MediaCity in 2011.
In this newly created role, Webb will lead MediaCity and dock10, and will be responsible for shaping and delivering a long-term vision that reinforces MediaCity as the home of future media.
Mark Senior, who has served as CEO of dock10 since 2012, will step down on Webb’s arrival and take on an ongoing advisory role.
Mike Hood, chief operating officer at Landsec, said: “Alice’s appointment is a major milestone in the evolution of MediaCity. Her proven leadership in the media sector and ability to deliver large-scale transformation make her the ideal person to lead MediaCity and dock10 into the future together, under a bold new vision. As we expand MediaCity into a hub for media, creativity, and innovation, uniting property and production under one leadership will unlock even greater value for our partners, tenants, and communities. We’re excited about what’s ahead.”
Webb added: “I’m delighted to be joining Landsec and returning to lead a community with a proven track record of creative ambition but with so much potential ahead of it too. Landsec’s commitment to that potential is compelling and I’m excited to pick up the reins and lead MediaCity into its next chapter. We have a very bright future of media, innovation, growth and creativity ahead of us. I can’t wait to get started later this year.”
