Great Portland Estates adds Steven Mew

Great Portland Estates announced the addition of Steven Mew to its management team on Wednesday, putting him in the role of portfolio director from early October.

The FTSE 250 firm said Mew would be joining the executive committee, and take on responsibility for the day-to-day operations of its investment portfolio, reporting to executive director Neil Thompson.

"I am delighted to welcome Steven to GPE. We have never been busier and he brings with him a wealth of experience to supplement our outstanding team,” said Great Portland chief executive Toby Courtauld.

Mew’s appointment followed the promotions of Andrew White as development director and Marc Wilder as leasing director to the executive committee in July 2015.

The board said Mew was joining the company from McKay Securities, where he was currently property director and had served as a board member since 2002.
