Boardroom changes at Grainger

THE UK’S largest residential landlord has announced the appointment of three new executive directors to its board.

Newcastle-headquartered Grainger plc will appoint Nick Jopling as executive director responsible for property and real estate matters.

He is currently head of residential at CB Richard Ellis, where he also chairs the UK Development Board and the European Residential Group.

Mark Greenwood will join Grainger as finance director. He has worked in finance since 1982 and held a number of senior positions within Alfred McAlpine Plc from 1989 to 2008.

Grainger will also welcome Peter Couch into its boardroom as executive director responsible for the plc’s retirement solutions business.

He will continue to act as chief operating officer, a position he was appointed to in 2009.

Mr Couch joined Grainger in 2005 and has since helped grow the retirement solutions business to become a market leader with £480m worth of assets.

Chief executive Andrew Cunningham said: “We are very pleased to be welcoming people of such strong calibre to the Grainger Board. These are proven, experienced individuals who will provide a great combination of residential, financial and operational expertise to the Company.”
