L&Q appoints group director for development and sales



L &Q has announced the appointment of Fiona Fletcher-Smith (pictured above) as group director for development and sales, subject to contractual arrangements.


In the new role, Fiona will be responsible for delivering L&Q’s plan to create 100,000 new homes over the next decade.

Fiona will join from the Greater London Authority, where she is currently executive director of development, enterprise and environment.

Fiona’s joining date is to be confirmed in due course.

Fiona said: “I’ve been honoured to have worked alongside the mayor in developing his progressive new vision for housing in London, and am thrilled that I will be able to continue to contribute to this at L&Q, as well as leading their drive to make a positive impact on housing nationally.”

She will oversee L&Q’s landmark projects, such as the Barking Riverside scheme, which will create a new town of 10,800 new homes and vital infrastructure.

Gallagher Estates – which was acquired by the L&Q Group in early 2017 – will also fall under her remit.

David Montague, chief executive at L&Q, added: “We are delighted that Fiona will be coming on board at this exciting time for L&Q.

“She has helped to put housing at the forefront of the London planning agenda and we hope that her passion will drive our own ambitions to help tackle the housing crisis through the delivery of tens of thousands of genuinely affordable, quality homes.”
