Chris Grigg has been leading British Land for 11 years, taking the top job in the depths of the financial crisis, delivering an overstretched balance sheet, reshaping and rebalancing the company’s investment portfolio and earning him considerable acclaim. During his tenure he has had to deal with the impacts of Brexit and the massive change that has taken place on the High Street and more recently COVID 19! Under Chris’ stewardship British Land has driven cultural change, championed diversity and inclusivity, and in the process built huge respect as a leader!
So, how would Chris sum up his experiences? What are the challenges of leading a plc propco? What are his reflections on his tenure? What have been the frustrations? What are the lessons learned? What have been the highlights? How has the World that British Land exists in, changed? And, what is the future for similar organisations - how will such vehicles develop in the future? Where next for Chris?
