Great Portland Estates has named non-executive board director Richard Mully as its next non-executive chairman.
He will replace Martin Scicluna, who retires on 31 January 2019 after nine years in the role.
Mully joined GPE’s board in December 2016. He is also a non-executive director at Standard Life Aberdeen and deputy chairman of the supervisory board of Alstria Office REIT.
He has previously served as a senior independent director at St Modwen Properties, ISG and Hansteen Holdings.
Mully will start his new role on 1 February 2019, becoming chairman of GPE’s nomination committee while remaining a member of its remuneration committee.
Mully said: “With management’s strong track record, the quality of the portfolio and potential of the development pipeline, I look forward to working with the GPE team.
“On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Martin for his valued contribution and stewardship over the past ten years.”
