GPE appoints Jayne Cottam as CFO

(Sharecast News) - Great Portland Estates said on Monday that Jayne Cottam has been appointed chief financial officer with effect from 16 March. The company said Cottam brings significant financial leadership and operational experience, most recently serving as CFO of Assura from September 2017 to December 2025. She joined Assura from Morris Homes Limited, one of the UK's largest private national housing developers, where she was the finance director for operations.

Prior to that, she was director of finance for the Continental Europe division of metal recycler EMR, and before that held a number of other senior finance positions, including at holiday and hotel operator, WA Shearings Limited.

Cottam succeeds Nick Sanderson who, as previously announced, is stepping down as chief financial & operating officer on 30 January to take up the position of CFO at Savills.

Chief executive Toby Courtauld said: "Jayne brings an excellent blend of financial, operational and leadership qualities with the right values for GPE's culture, and I am very much looking forward to working alongside her."
