Property and development membership organisation Developing Consensus has appointed Sandra Manson as its new chair.
Ms Manson, who is senior director at national development consultancy Pegasus Group, has already played an active role in the organisation as head of the planning steering board. Over the last two years she has worked to connect the group’s private sector businesses with local planning teams to foster collaboration and a positive dialogue between the two. Ms Manson succeeds Adam Serfontein, who led Developing Consensus since its creation over 10 years ago.
She said: “I’m delighted to take on this role at such a pivotal time for the region and must thank Adam for all his hard work since Developing Consensus began in creating a voice for business in a constructive way. I look forward to continuing in that role, with the support of the steering group and the fantastic member companies. With the region on the cusp of a devolution deal finally crossing the line, it is more important than ever that we work collaboratively across the region, across sectors, to optimise the opportunities for all.”
