Cadogan has appointed a new Sustainability Manager.

The firm selected Kate Neale who will play a key role in the sustainability of the 93-acre Cadogan estate, working as part of asset management director Claire Barber's team, and reporting into Steve Medway, Place Manager.

Kate has a decade's experience working for landlords, developers and consultants on energy and environment management and sustainability projects. She joins Cadogan after four years at UK REIT Hammerson, and will help deliver a long-term stewardship strategy with sustainability at its core.


During her time at Hammerson, Kate oversaw the creation and implementation of sustainability-driven programmes for twelve shopping centres across UK and Ireland, while engaging with departments across the business to provide advice and direction on sustainability related matters.

Kate also previously oversaw sustainability commitments and energy compliance projects at Marks and Spencer and was a sustainability consultant for a private environmental consultancy.

Hugh Seaborn, CEO of Cadogan, commented: "Kate's experience and enthusiasm for sustainability issues and environmental management projects make her an important and timely addition to our team at Cadogan. Sustainability has long been a core part of Cadogan's strategic objectives and will grow in importance dramatically as we look ahead to the next ten years. Kate’s contribution to our stewardship strategy will be invaluable in helping us to introduce new, tech-driven solutions to minimise ourselves environmental impact and leave a meaningful sustainability legacy for future generations."
