LONDONMETRIC PROPERTY PLC

RETIREMENT OF VALENTINE BERESFORD

 

LondonMetric Property Plc ("Company" or "LondonMetric") announces that
Valentine Beresford, Investment Director, has notified the Company of his
decision to retire. He will leave the business at the end of the current
financial year.

 

Following Valentine's retirement, Will Evers will become sole Head of
Investment. Will joined Metric Property in 2010 and has been Joint Head of
Investment with Valentine since 2024. He will continue to work alongside
Darren Richards, who joined as Chief Investment Officer in January; Mark
Stirling, Property Director; and Andrew Smith, Strategy Director.

 

Valentine was one of the original founders of Metric Property which had its
IPO in 2010. He has worked with LondonMetric's management team for over 30
years, the last 13 of which were at LondonMetric after Pillar Property and
British Land.

 

Andrew Jones, Chief Executive of LondonMetric, commented:

 

"It has been a great pleasure working with Valentine and we have had a
wonderful time over many years with significantly more highs than lows,
materially more wins than losses and considerably more laughs than tears. It
is hard to overstate the significant contribution he has offered both as a
colleague and friend while reshaping and growing LondonMetric's portfolio to
£7.4 billion of assets.

 

"We have planned for this transition and have incredible strength in depth
with both Will and Darren well established in their respective roles to ensure
that we continue to capitalise on the significant opportunities that lie
ahead."

 

Valentine Beresford, Investment Director of LondonMetric commented:

 

"I am hugely proud of what we have achieved at LondonMetric since co-founding
Metric Property with Andrew and Mark in 2010. I have worked alongside them
both consistently for 32 years and leave the Company in great shape with a
best-in-class team."
