Lendlease veteran joins UK impact developer

Impact developer Socius has appointed Katrina Lamberton as senior project manager.

Lamberton joins the British firm from Australian developer Lendlease, where she worked for more than 20 years. She worked on projects including the 60-acre transport hub at Euston, a 5 million sq ft office development at the International Quarter East London, and a 50-acre mixed-use development scheme at Silvertown Quays, London.

At Socius she will join the project team responsible for Botanic Place, a £500 million “sustainable and intelligent” development in Cambridge. It will use 70% less energy than a typical office building and will be powered using renewable energy sources.

“Lamberton’s expertise in planning and delivering large complex schemes will be hugely valuable as we bring forward the plans for Botanic Place,” said Barry Jessup, managing director of Socius.
