British Land Boss Simon Carter to Quit and Join Warehouse Developer

Simon Carter, chief executive of British Land, is leaving to head warehouse developer P3 Logistics Parks, with British Land announcing his departure and a 12-month notice period.
A veteran executive, Carter initially joined British Land, moved to Quintain Estates and Development and Logicor, then returned as chief financial officer before becoming CEO, saying post-pandemic calls positioned British Land for success.
British Land's portfolio spans retail parks, shopping centres and urban logistics in London, including West One, Whiteley, Glasgow Fort, SouthGate in Bath, and Drake Circus in Plymouth.
British Land said Carter has a 12-month notice period and it will start a full process to recruit his successor, with chairman William Rucker praising Carter's achievements.
The move may shift focus toward logistics as Carter leaves a diversified property group to lead a specialist warehouse developer, highlighting growing sector interest beyond British Land's campuses and retail parks.
