John Travers, the former head of Cushman & Wakefield’s EMEA region, was today appointed a non-executive director of British Land.

Travers joins Clive Cowdery, the chairman of Resolution, the FTSE 100 company that manages closed life funds, on the British Land board.

British Land also announced that Michael Cassidy, the lawyer and former chairman of the policy and resources committee of the Corporation of London, would, as planned, be standing down as a non-executive director at this year's annual general meeting.

'We are very pleased to welcome two such exceptional people in Clive Cowdery and John Travers,’ said chairman Chris Gibson-Smith. ‘They bring valuable wide

ranging business experience, strengthening still further our non-executive board membership.’
