Further, Rob will become chair at the nomination committee, leading on the recruitment of new non-executive directors and oversee the succession planning of executive management. 

Alice has been managing director at Mitie Group plc's communities’ division since 2021.

Alice will serve from appointment as a member of the nomination committee, remuneration committee and audit committee.

Chris Browne has agreed to stay on as a non-executive director for up to one more year, having served on the board since September 2014. 

As a consequence, Chris will seek re-election as a non-executive director at the AGM.

Ralph Findlay OBE, chair at Vistry, commented: "We are delighted to have recruited two new high calibre directors to the board, in particular putting in place a strong Senior Independent Director to bolster our Board governance. 

“Rob and Alice's respective experience in both the public and private sectors will be hugely valuable as we continue to execute the group's partnership strategy.”
