Great Portland Estates plc (GPE) is pleased to announce a number
of senior management changes:
-- Janine Cole has been promoted and will join the GPE Executive
Committee as Sustainability & Social Impact Director on 29

team in 1998, she was appointed Head of Sustainability in 2011 and
subsequently Director of Sustainability and Community in 2019.
Janine has been instrumental in driving our sustainability and
community initiatives including our commitment to become a Net Zero
carbon business by 2030 and the recent launch of our innovative
Decarbonisation Fund.
-- Darren Lennark has been appointed as General Counsel &
Company Secretary, having joined GPE in September 2019 as interim
Company Secretary. Darren has a wealth of legal and governance
experience developed across numerous sectors. After spending 10
years as a corporate lawyer at CMS Cameron McKenna LLP, Darren
joined Tesco plc in 2011 where he was Deputy Company Secretary and
interim Group Company Secretary before becoming Group Company
Secretary at Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group plc in 2017.
Four further changes have been made to the senior management
team;
-- Alexis George has been appointed as Head of Health and
Safety. Having worked both in health and safety consultancy and
across varied property portfolios, Alexis brings considerable
technical knowledge and experience to our business.
-- Rebecca Bradley joins as Head of Property Services, with
responsibility for strengthening services delivery across the
portfolio, bringing experience from technology and flexible office
businesses.
-- Lisa Day has been appointed as Head of Occupier Services.
Lisa has been with GPE for some 15 years and in her new role is
responsible for enhancing occupier experience within our
portfolio.
-- Anisha Patel has been appointed as Head of Marketing.
Following a variety of roles at Workspace plc, Apple and Virgin
Media, Anisha brings deep and relevant multi-channel marketing
strategy skills to the team.
Toby Courtauld, Chief Executive, commented: "As we broaden and
deepen our offer to our occupiers, sustainability and social impact
considerations are increasingly important in our strategic thinking
and business activities and so Janine's experience will be
invaluable to the Executive Committee. With their proven skills and
extensive knowledge, Alexis, Rebecca, Lisa, Anisha and Darren will
add greatly to GPE and we are delighted to have them in these
important roles."
Following the publication of our Roadmap to Net Zero in November
2020, we will be hosting a virtual Capital Markets event on
Wednesday 3rd March 2021, 2.00pm - 3.15pm to provide greater
insight into our approach to sustainability and our Net Zero Carbon
commitment. Details of how to join can be found at
