Sydney Airport has appointed the former head of retail at DEXUS Property Group, Glyn Williams, as its new retail GM.

Williams was previously head of retail at DEXUS Property Group and regional GM NSW/WA at Westfield Group.

He was also previously director of the Shopping Centre Council of Australia for the past three years.

Williams, who will begin his role from May 6, replaces outgoing retail GM Andrew Gardiner.

“We’re delighted that Glyn Williams is joining the Sydney Airport team. He brings extensive experience in retail property leasing, management, development, and marketing across a number of businesses,” Sydney Airport CEO, Kerrie Mather, said.

“He’ll also be responsible for the duty free retender process which is now underway. We’re seeking a retailer or retailers to operate, manage, develop and market our exciting duty free business.”
