Harding-Roots led the major projects team at Grosvenor, delivering major real estate investment and regeneration projects across London worth around \u00a32 billion.<\/p>\n

Dan Labbad, Chief Executive of The Crown Estate, said: \u201cThe Crown Estate\u2019s iconic London portfolio has an important role to play in supporting the capital\u2019s post-pandemic recovery<\/strong> over the coming years, and Simon brings both purpose and a wealth of expertise to support this endeavour.<\/strong> I am pleased that Simon is joining us and we look forward to welcoming him to The Crown Estate next month.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harding-Roots commented: \u201cWhile the last 18 months have brought huge levels of challenge and structural change to our industry, and London more generally, this is an exciting time for The Crown Estate and its iconic West End portfolio.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to working with its customers and partners in responding to ever-evolving demands, and joining The Crown Estate as it steps up to some of the shared challenges we face as a society over the years ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to joining Grosvenor in 2015, Harding-Roots held a number of roles across London and the property sector, including as Chief Operations Officer at Imperial College London<\/strong>.
