IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS AND REGRET THAT HYPROP ANNOUNCED THE PASSING OF LES WEIL ON 28 JUNE 2013. LES SERVED AS A NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ON THE BOARD OF HYPROP FOR TEN YEARS.
Les had a distinguished career in
property management and consulting
with over 40 years of experience in
property and related fields. He was a
chartered accountant and also held a
Masters in Business Administration.
Les worked as the property consultant
to the Airports Company South Africa,
prior to which he spent several years
in merchant banking and commerce.
He also served as the president of the
South African Chamber of Business
and as Chairman of JHI properties.
He participated in the formation of
a number of listed property vehicles,
as well as the initial conceptualisation
and assembly of Melrose Arch
in Johannesburg and other
developments. He was a member of
the King Committee on Corporate
Governance and a fellow of the
Institute of Directors.
In 2007, Les was recognised by the
Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors
in London for his contribution to
South Africa’s property industry.
Les' diligence, knowledge, experience
and unwavering commitment will be
sorely missed by the industry at large
and by Hyprop in particular. We use
this opportunity to again extend our
heartfelt condolences to Dorianne,
Dean, Jemma and family. |
