This follows Richard Hough’s retirement after six years at the helm.
Hough joined the firm in 2017 as Chief Operating Officer before being named CEO in 2019 after its co-founder and CEO, Toby Selman, quit.
In his watch, Hough oversaw the development of East Africa’s largest single industrial park at Tatu City and in Tilisi.
The above won him and the company numerous awards, including industrial development and IFC Global EDGE Champion.
“It has been an enormous privilege to spend six years at ALP working with a great team of both colleagues and investors. Together we have brought high quality, sustainable industrial buildings to Kenya for the first time,” he said.
“On behalf of the entire board, I would like to thank Richard for his diligence and dedication,” Charlie Tryon, Chairman of ALP said.
