development of SEGRO across Europe, initially as country head for Belgium and
subsequently as CEO of Continental Europe and then Group Business Development
Director. In the last few years, Walter has been instrumental in driving the
growth of our European business. We are extremely grateful for everything he
has done."
Inès Reinmann, who heads Continental Europe for SEGRO is to join the SEGRO
Board with effect from 1 November 2008. Ian Coull said: "We are delighted to

successfully transforming SEGRO into the leading provider of flexible business
space in Europe. We now have two strong, well balanced businesses, with high
quality management in place. We believe that these businesses, with their

placed to drive the business forward. The changes we are making are designed to
ensure that we operate as efficiently and effectively as possible, with a small
focused corporate centre.
