British Land appoints Simon Carter as CFO

Prior to joining Logicor, Carter was finance director at Quintain Estates & Development. Before that, he spent just over ten years at British Land in a variety of financial and strategic roles and was a member of the executive committee from 2012.

As previously announced, Bell will step down from the board and leave the group on 4 April. Having now successfully completed the search for a replacement CFO, the group has agreed that she will now step down from her role as a main board director as well as her day-to-day responsibilities as CFO with immediate effect.

A team has already been established to manage the transition to a new CFO.

Chief executive Chris Grigg said: "We are delighted to welcome Simon back to British Land. In his roles at Quintain and Logicor he has gained a very broad perspective and significant leadership experience and expertise. During his previous time with the company, he was an incredibly capable and experienced member of our senior team, contributing to the company's development through a number of roles including treasury, corporate finance, and strategy.”
