Haydn joins the firm with a career in property spanning almost 20 years. He has held a number of leadership roles in the industry, including Chief Financial Officer at Lendlease, Deputy Group Finance Director at Balfour Beatty, and most recently as CEO of Kier Group, where he spent almost a decade on the Board of the property and construction services firm.

During his tenure at Kier, Haydn established a new Board and management team and oversaw a complete redesign of its operational structure. He also increased the scale and revenue and people threefold and markedly improved the profitability of the Group, leading the company in securing complex acquisitions and forging strong relationships with key stakeholders.
