Ian Henderson, Head of Property for ABP, said: “We are developing our property function to better support our customers. The Property Asset Manager is not the only new role we’ve created within our team; we are focusing on enhancing three core areas: our already established Estate Management team, Property Asset Management and Property Development.
“This is in turn supported centrally with Master Planning, Building Surveying and Property Operations. Each function comes with its own responsibility and focuses on providing a better experience for our tenants, driving growth for their business, and developing the property portfolio to make the best use of the property and land available.”
