Google Cloud secures £400 mln U.K. Ministry of Defence sovereign cloud deal
LONDON - Harworth Group plc (LSE:HWG), a regeneration and strategic land developer, announced Wednesday the appointment of Phil Redding as an independent Non-Executive Director, effective immediately. Redding will also join the company’s Remuneration Committee, replacing Lisa Scenna who moves to the Nomination Committee.
Redding brings 35 years of commercial real estate experience, with particular expertise in the industrial and logistics sector. He most recently served as Chief Executive Officer of Tritax Eurobox plc, where he oversaw its £557 million sale to Brookfield in December 2024.
Prior to Tritax, Redding spent 25 years at SEGRO plc, including eight and a half years as Chief Investment Officer after joining the SEGRO board in May 2013.
Alastair Lyons, Chair of Harworth, said Redding’s experience scaling UK industrial and logistics platforms would be "invaluable" as the company works to transform its land bank and achieve its target of making the portfolio 85% industrial and logistics weighted by 2029.
The company confirmed that Redding qualifies as independent under the UK Corporate Governance Code, and that the appointment complies with UK Listing Rules.
Scenna’s move to the Nomination Committee fills the vacancy left by Ruth Cooke, who stepped down from the Harworth board at the company’s 2025 Annual General Meeting.
Harworth Group owns and manages over 15,000 acres of strategic land across more than 100 sites throughout the North of England and Midlands, according to the company’s press release statement.
