Greenwood is set to retire at the end of 2015, while David Smith will be appointed as interim finance director until Simms takes over.

"Vanessa brings strong and relevant PLC and real estate experience to Grainger, having held a number of senior finance roles in the industry, whilst having a proven track record of successfully implementing strategic and financial programmes,” said group chairman Baroness Ford.
