Michael McLintock has been appointed by the Grosvenor Estate as the new Chairman of Grosvenor Group
Michael McLintock has been appointed by the Grosvenor Estate as the new Chairman of Grosvenor Group, one of the world’s largest privately-owned international property companies. He succeeds Lesley Knox who is retiring as a trustee of the Grosvenor Estate and who has fulfilled the role of Group Chairman since 2010. The appointment becomes effective in September.
Michael has been a member of the Grosvenor Group Board since 2012 and is also a Trustee of the Grosvenor Estate, Chairman of Grosvenor Group’s Audit Committee and a member of the Remuneration Committee. He was previously Chief Executive of M&G for 19 years, retiring in 2016, and was a Director of Prudential between 2000 and 2016, having overseen the sale of M&G to Prudential in 1999.
Mark Preston, Executive Trustee of the Grosvenor Estate said:
“Lesley has been an outstanding Chairman for the Group. Over the past few years, her business acumen, insight and good judgement have helped steer and constructively challenge the Group’s approach to international diversification and growth – always with a firm eye on the long-term impact of our decisions.
“In Michael McLintock we are fortunate to have an ideal successor with a deep understanding of the business. As chief executive of Grosvenor Group I am very much looking forward to working with him in his new capacity, as we continue in our strategy to deepen our activities across our diversified portfolio and to ensure that what we do delivers benefit to the communities, neighbourhoods and cities in which we work.”
