Investor, developer and manager Kajima Europe has appointed Chris Gill as managing director of its partnerships business.
It said the appointment was part of a broader succession strategy at the firm to reinforce its board.
Kajima Partnerships is the property and project finance investment arm of Kajima Europe, active in social infrastructure, renewables and urban regeneration.
To date, Kajima Partnerships has social infrastructure projects with a total investment value of more than £1bn, and has 4GW of renewable energy projects in development across Europe.
Gill brings more than 15 years’ experience in real estate investment and asset management, specialising in infrastructure and energy. He will be responsible for accelerating the growth of Kajima Partnership’s business across its core sectors of renewables, regeneration and social infrastructure.
He will also oversee Kajima Partnerships’ investments and operations in Ireland and will continue in his role as head of renewables at Kajima Europe.
Julian Rudd-Jones, senior adviser to Kajima Europe and former managing director of Kajima Partnerships, said: “Since joining us five years ago, Chris has championed our diversification into renewables. I am confident his energy, experience and commitment will drive the next chapter in our development, further strengthening our market position across the UK and Europe.”
Gill added: “Our focus will remain on strength and innovation as we continue to expand and enhance Kajima’s growth strategy in the coming years.”
