Property developer Kingsbridge has appointed two senior industry leaders to its advisory board.
David Turner, co-founder and managing partner of industrial agency DTRE, and Sue Clayton, former executive director at CBRE and current non-executive director at SEGRO, will join the advisory board alongside current chairman Ian Playford.
The appointments are designed to help accelerate the Chichester-based developer’s ambition to grow gross assets to £1bn, driving larger-scale schemes, new partnerships and continuing to develop its geographical reach across the UK.
Playford said: “Enhancing our advisory board is a statement of ambition, investing in the long-term future of Kingsbridge. Sue and David are exceptional figures in UK real estate whose combined track record in scaling businesses and nurturing partnerships is second to none. Their strategic input will be invaluable as we accelerate our growth trajectory and cement our standing as a leading player in commercial and residential real estate.”
Chris Fry, chief executive officer of Kingsbridge, added: “Having celebrated our 20th anniversary and built our presence as a leading regional developer, these advisory board appointments reflect the scale of our growth ambitions for the next decade and beyond. In Sue and David, we are privileged to be advised by two people who embody the values, entrepreneurial spirit, and forward-thinking leadership we stand for. Their expertise will directly support our push into bigger projects, new geographies, and wider real estate sectors, while keeping high-quality, sustainable development at the core of everything we do.”
Turner said: “Kingsbridge has spent 20 years building a fantastic reputation as an agile, responsible developer that delivers outstanding, sustainable projects and social value. I look forward to working with the team to help unlock the next phase of expansion.”
Clayton added: “I look forward to supporting the leadership team as Kingsbridge grows and diversifies, strengthens existing links and makes new partnerships, and nurtures the exceptional talent within its team to achieve its ambitions.”
