DIRECTORATE CHANGE - APPOINTMENT OF CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
Keepmoat has today confirmed the appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer.
Mark Priest informed the Board in the spring of 2023 of his intention to retire as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director of the Company, for personal reasons.
Following a thorough and rigorous recruitment process to find a replacement, the Board is pleased to confirm the appointment of Mark Dilley as the new Chief Financial Officer of Keepmoat. Mark joins Keepmoat from Tilia Homes, where he has been Chief Financial Officer since 2021. Prior to that Mark was CFO at Town Centre Securities PLC and Vice President of Retail & Property Finance at Asda. Mark will join the business in August 2024 and be appointed Chief Financial Officer from 1 October 2024, following a period of transition of responsibilities from Mark Priest.
Commenting on the announcement, Tim Beale of Keepmoat said: “I am truly sorry to see Mark retire. Mark has been with Keepmoat since 2016 and in that time has been instrumental in driving both financial discipline and the wider performance of the business. His incredible work ethic, curiosity, tenacity, wise counsel and intellect have been invaluable. Mark has supported the success of Keepmoat as it stands today, and he leaves us well positioned for the future. I would like to thank him for everything he has done for Keepmoat and all the support he has given to me personally over the years.
I am also delighted to announce that Mark Dilley will be joining us as his successor. Mark brings a wealth of experience to this role, and we are looking forward to welcoming him to the business. In the meantime, Mark Priest will continue as CFO until the end of September, to ensure a smooth transition."
