Legal & General Property (LGP) has appointed Adam Kerr as the new head of transactions. Kerr is the latest senior addition to LGP, following the restructuring of its management team announced last month, which included the promotion of Gordon Aitchison, former head of transactions, to a new position of director of Investment and Development.

He brings over 23 years of property investment experience to the job, having held director-level positions at Kilmartin Property Group, Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, and more recently Stonehage Property Partners.

In his new role, he will report directly to Gordon Aitchison, helping to source transactions which meet LGP's various fund criteria. Kerr will initially focus on the creation of long-term income deals through sale and leasebacks and development, but will also assist with the launch of new fund products.
