Grainger plc, the UK's largest listed residential landlord, today announces
the appointment of Paul Glibbery as Chief Information Officer, with
responsibility for driving Grainger's technology transformation.

The appointment follows Grainger's significant investment in its technology
platform, CONNECT, which will further differentiate Grainger's market leading
position in the UK rental housing market. CONNECT is a integrated technology
solution which will enhance the customer experience, improve operational
efficiencies further and protect Grainger's license to operate.

Paul joins Grainger with over 20 years of extensive experience leading the
delivery of global technology and digital business transformation programmes
for major brands including Hewlett Packard, Airbus and Fujitsu.

During his 7-year tenure at Hewlett Packard, Paul acted as Delivery Director
for HP Defence UK, led the Group's ES Business Transformation Programme within
the EMEA Region, and ultimately was responsible for a US$250m Global Account
and Sales team, with the remit of implementing a strategy for clients to
transition the technology mix from legacy to digital services, working within
strategic partnerships with Microsoft, AWS, and Dell.

In his new role, Paul will join Grainger's Executive Committee and will be
responsible for overseeing the delivery and implementation of its
industry-leading CONNECT platform and all IT operations within the business.

Helen Gordon, Chief Executive said:

 

"We are delighted to welcome Paul Glibbery to Grainger as our new Chief
Information Officer.  This senior appointment will help drive our technology

during the current market conditions."
