Helen Newman previously worked at CBRE

Newman left CBRE last summer, where she was head of sustainable capital, to join developer Fabrix, the firm behind a 拢180m scheme in London that will see a mini forest built on top of the former Blackfriars Crown Court in Southwark.

But this job, due to have been built by Mace, has stalled because of affordability issues with the job undergoing a rethink.

Newman has also worked as a consultant to British Land, Grosvenor and GPE.
