We are partnering with a true leader in the multi-let industrial (MLI) area of the UK and European real estate market. This organisation's strong performance to date has been bolstered further by private equity backing, and this continued growth has prompted the search for a Company Secretary to join the team in the business's central London office.

- Maintaining the risk compliance process, and maintaining the group risk register.
Over the next year, this organisation will continue to grow and further expand their portfolio by way of acquisition, JV and organically.
