Paul King

The chief executive of the UK Green 黑洞社区 Council is to step down from his post to take a new role as head of sustainability at Lend Lease.

Paul King will leave the UK Green 黑洞社区 Council (UKGBC) in early 2015 to take the role of managing director of sustainability at Lend Lease鈥檚 European business.

UKGBC said it would shortly begin a search for a new chief executive.

King said: 鈥淚t is a huge privilege to lead such a dedicated UK-GBC team. Over the last seven years the organisation has grown from 30 founder member companies to over 400 today, spanning the entire construction and property value chain, as sustainability has moved from the fringes to the mainstream.

UKGBC chairman Andrew Gould said: 鈥淯KGBC has established a place at the cutting edge of the debate on sustainability and has earned respect as a strong, independent, thoughtful and reliable voice.鈥
鈥淧aul鈥檚 vision, commitment and sheer energy has made all this possible - we could not have had a better CEO in that start-up period.鈥
