Keyland Developments Ltd, the property trading arm of Kelda Group and sister-company to Yorkshire Water, has continued its growth plans with the appointment of Joe Boothman as Land & Development Manager.
Joe joins from Yorkshire Water where he was a Lead Surveyor in the Land and Property Team, having initially joined Keyland on secondment to cover maternity leave in January 2024.
Joe will work closely with Yorkshire Water to identify and promote development opportunities within their portfolio, looking at traditional developments as well as newer Renewables opportunities.
This will be done alongside a focus on further growing Keyland’s successful Planning Promotional Agreements (PPA) initiative, which is designed to enable both private and public sector landowners to maximise the development potential from their land risk free.
Joe has gained a strong understanding of the Kelda Estate after spending over six years working for Yorkshire Water’s Land and Property team. During this time he gained specialist knowledge on utilities and specifically Telecoms, which he will bring to this role.
Luke Axe, Land & Planning Director, Keyland Developments Ltd, said: “Joe has become a valued member of the Keyland team during his recent secondment. His appointment aligns with our growth strategy and his sector specific expertise is a great addition to our collective skillset.”
Joe Boothman commented on his appointment: “This role will enable me to bring value to Kelda’s wider estate and grow the promotion side of the Keyland business.”
