Lendlease’s European Managing Director for Development Bek Seeley has joined the Advisory Group of the UK’s Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF).

In her current role with Lendlease Bek is responsible for leading the Development business to successfully deliver Lendlease’s European pipeline including the Over-Station Development at Euston, Thamesmead Waterfront, Birmingham Smithfield, Elephant Park, Silvertown Quays, IQL Stratford, Deptford Landings and High Road West.

Most recently she held the position of Chief Operating Officer for Development and was instrumental in winning a number of major projects for Lendlease, as well as overseeing operations and driving overall growth of the business.

UKREiiF founder and driving force Keith Griffiths said: “I am thrilled that Bek has today joined the UKREiiF Advisory Group. Bek’s decision to join our other outstanding Advisory Group members to work with Built Environment Networking and UKREiiF Advisory Group Chair Lord Kerslake is testament to the incredible momentum that is building behind UKREiiF across the private and public sectors.

“As a major player in global property, Lendlease getting involved in UKREiiF through Bek joining the Advisory Group is a vote of confidence in the global reach of UKREiiF that I am proud to receive.”

Bek Seeley, Lendlease’s European Managing Director for Development, added: “I am pleased to today join the UKREiiF Advisory Group. UKREiiF is a really exciting development in the world of real estate and infrastructure, and it is one I am proud to support.”

The UKREiiF Advisory Group now includes many key public and private sector figures, covering all sectors of the property, infrastructure and investment markets.

Led by property events company Built Environment Networking and supported by some of the biggest UK property and infrastructure companies, the first annual UKREiiF event will be held in Leeds on 17-19 May 2022. The forum will attract inward investment, generate economic growth and drive a more sustainable and inclusive culture within the property and construction industries.

Further announcements about UKREiiF are due in the coming weeks.
