St Modwen poaches British Land’s Rob Hudson

Developer St Modwen has appointed British Land’s Rob Hudson as group finance director.

Hudson, 41 and currently British Land’s group financial controller, is expected to take up the role in October.

He replaces Mike Dunn who leaves St Modwen in May to spend more time with his family. Andy Taylor will become acting group finance director until Hudson’s arrival.

Hudson, a chartered accountant, began his career with PricewaterhouseCoopers before moving to Experian PLC and then British Land.

Bill Oliver, chief executive of St. Modwen, said: “Rob’s wide-ranging financial skills and experience combined with his property sector knowledge will make him an excellent addition to the company.”
