Laura Sutton Joins JLL’s Industrial & Logistics Group

Laura Sutton will join JLL’s Industrial & Logistics Group starting in late October. She will be based in the Warwick Street, London office working alongside Michael Alderton, focusing on enhancing and growing JLL’s Occupier Services Team, which was set up by Michael when he joined JLL three years ago.

This is a major appointment with two of the primary operators within the Industrial & Logistics Occupier sector now at JLL.

Laura Sutton joins from Baker Rose where she was an equity partner. Prior to that she was the Lead Director of the Savills Industrial Team in London. She was voted one of the Top 100 Women in Property in 2006.

Andy Harding, Lead Director of the JLL UK Industrial & Logistics Group, commented: “We are absolutely delighted that we were able to convince Laura to join us. Her appointment demonstrates our ongoing commitment to recruit personnel of the highest calibre who will continue to provide an unrivalled service for our growing spectrum of Occupier clients.”

David Baker at Baker Rose Consulting, added: “We are sorry to see Laura leave us but of course wish her well. We are delighted that Sarah Gillie (nee Henderson) is joining us in October as a partner from FCC Environment. Sarah will specialise in planning and development consultancy on major projects, as well as compulsory purchase claims for those affected by HS2, Crossrail and regeneration schemes.

“This is a significant appointment for Baker Rose as we continue to develop our transport related development consultancy. Sarah has managed FCC’s negotiations for a new rail terminal with HS2, and undertaken a wide range of environmental, planning and development roles, both within FCC’s operating business and previously with Wardell Armstrong LLP.”
