Paul Barber
Paul, who has held previous positions with English Partnerships and Yorkshire Forward, is currently Chief Executive of Strategic Sites – a thriving commercial property development company and wholly owned subsidiary of Wynyard Park.
He said: “I am delighted to be taking up this new post at such an exciting time. Wynyard Park is currently more than 85% let – a tremendous achievement given the economic climate that we are operating in – but the Masterplan gives us an opportunity to move on to a whole new level and create a flagship development, not only for this region but the whole of the UK.”
Wynyard Park Chief Executive Chris Musgrave said: “We have come a long way since we started out in 2005. Since then, we have brought more than £250 million of private investment into Wynyard Park and attracted around 60 companies employing in excess of 1,500 people.
“We are now entering a new and exciting phase of growth and I believe that Paul is the ideal person to take us forward, given his extensive experience at a senior level in both the public and private sectors.”
Paul will also be responsible for developments off the Wynyard Park site, including a proposed Advanced Manufacturing Park on the South-West Iron Masters site in Middlesbrough which it is intended will focus on the future energy sector.
