Liz Peace
CEO, British Property Federation

Liz Peace became the CEO of the British Property Federation in 2002, following a long and varied career in the MoD, latterly the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (now QinetiQ plc).  Since then she has managed to change the Governments perception of the commercial property industry, to dissuade the Government from legislating on commercial leases, to win innumerable changes to planning and tax legislation and, working as part of a pan-industry alliance, to persuade the Government to introduce REITs.  Most recently Ms Peace played a key role in campaigning for the abandonment of Planning Gain Supplement.

Ms Peace believes there are still plenty of challenges left, not least reaching agreement with Government on how best to deliver the sustainability agenda, and continuing the BPFs mission to improve the industrys standing with politicians, the media and the public at large.

Ms Peace was awarded a CBE in the 2008 New Year Honours list for services to the property industry.
