Great Portland Estates plc (GPE) announces that Neil Thompson, Executive Director, has stepped down from the Board with immediate effect, and will leave the Group on the 31 December 2016.

GPE's Executive Committee has recently been strengthened by the appointment of Robin Matthews as Investment Director and Steven Mew as Portfolio Director, who join Andrew White, Development Director and Marc Wilder, Leasing Director to help manage the property teams at GPE.

Martin Scicluna, Chairman of GPE, said "Neil has played an integral part in GPE's success over the last 14 years, 10 of which as a member of the plc Board, however, we were unable to find a role within the Group which matched Neil's career aspirations. On behalf of the Board, I would like to express my gratitude to him for his significant contribution to the Group. We all wish him well."
