Saunders will continue to focus on investments and third-party capital partnerships, and he will also support and oversee asset management of the existing portfolio which is led day-to-day by Emmanuel Farcis (Group Managing Director, Asset Management). Ng will lead all the corporate functions including finance, legal, IT, human resource and investor relations.
The Board is running an international search process for a new Group CEO working with a global recruitment firm. Link is seeking a proven real estate investor and business manager of a listed company who can lead the next phase of the Group’s strategy. Given the seniority of the role, and the focus on external candidates, it is expected that the search and appointment will be a rigorous process that will take time.
Owen has agreed to commit more time as Independent Non-Executive chair of Link under a new arrangement running from Jan 1 until the end of May 2027. He will not take an executive role at Link but will ensure comprehensive coverage for the process of the Group CEO search, appointment and subsequent onboarding.
