British Land (who own coworking brand Storey) has appointed Joanne McNamara as its new chief executive, with her set to join in November.

Joanne comes from Oxford Properties, where she spent 15 years building a European portfolio worth over £8bn. Samantha McClary of the British Council for Offices highlights this as a strong hire, both for McNamara's track record and for adding another female CEO to the UK listed property sector alongside Helen Gordon.
