OFFICE: AIA: Auckland Airport announces new general manager of property
Auckland Airport has announced the appointment of Mark Thomson to the
company's Leadership Team.
Adrian Littlewood, Auckland Airport's chief executive, says, "Mark's
appointment follows an extensive domestic and international search, and
completes the restructure and recruitment of Auckland Airport's senior
management team."
"Mark will lead the property team and be responsible for continuing to
transform the airport into a vibrant business destination, developing new
commercial business premises and attracting high-profile companies."
"Mark has more than 20 years' experience in real estate management and
development and he has a wealth of experience in the transport and logistics
sectors. He is currently living in Singapore and is the Director of Strategy
Execution and Property for Toll Global Logistics with responsibility for a
real estate portfolio spread across China, South East Asia and India. Mark
has structured over US$500 million of development projects and negotiated
more than 500,000 square metres of office and industrial leases across
Asia-Pacific."
"He started his career in commercial brokerage in New Zealand and has since
managed portfolios for the Crown Estate Commissioners (London) and Telecom
New Zealand, as well as advising many other corporates on real estate
matters. Before relocating to Singapore, Mark was National Property and
Development Manager for Toll New Zealand."
Mark Thomson says, "I am very much looking forward to returning to New
Zealand and working at Auckland Airport. This is an exciting time to be
joining the company as it implements its 30-year vision for the 'airport of
the future', and realises its goal of being New Zealand's best business
location."
"My experience in forging customer partnerships for quality developments
within Toll's recently completed SG$300 million Loyang supply base commercial
property development in Singapore transfers well into the opportunities at
Auckland Airport, and I am delighted to be leading the airport's property
team through its next phase of growth."
Mark Thomson will start work at Auckland Airport in early April 2014.
