Neil Sachdev has been appointed as a non-executive director of NHS Property Services.
Sachdev replaces Rachel Kentleton, who served on the board from 1 April 2013 to October 2014.
Sachdev stepped down as property director of J Sainsbury plc in March after four years at the company.
Sachdev said: “I am aware that, in its first 19 months, NHS Property Services has made huge progress in developing more modern facilities for the NHS, disposing of surplus properties, improving facilities management services, and delivering real cost savings and efficiencies. I am excited to be joining the company and I look forward to playing a role in its continued development as a business.”
