British Land Co. has appointed Simon Carter as chief financial officer.

Carter succeeds Lucinda Bell who, as previously announced, intended to step down from the board and leave the company on April 4.

Previously, Carter was the chief financial officer at Logicor and prior to that was finance director at Quintain Estates & Development Plc.

Prior to this, he spent more than 10 years at British Land in a variety of financial and strategic roles and was a member of the executive committee from 2012.

The company has agreed that Bell will now step down from her role as a main board director as well as her day-to-day responsibilities as CFO with immediate effect. A team has already been established to manage the transition to a new CFO.
