Board Changes

Countryside Properties PLC ("Countryside" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Becky Worthington, currently Group Chief Financial Officer, to the role of Group Chief Operating Officer with effect from 1 October 2018. On the same date, Mike Scott, currently Group Financial Controller, will join the Board as Group Chief Financial Officer.

Becky joined Countryside as Group Chief Financial Officer in August 2015 and played an instrumental role in the Company's listing on the London Stock Exchange in February 2016 and the growth of the business since that time. In her new role as Group Chief Operating Officer, Becky will assume operational leadership for both our Housebuilding and Partnerships divisions. This will allow Ian Sutcliffe, Group Chief Executive, to focus on the long-term direction and strategy of the Company.

Mike joined Countryside in December 2014 as Group Financial Controller. He qualified as a Chartered Accountant with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in 2002 and has significant financial experience, having served in a number of senior financial positions at J Sainsbury plc prior to joining Countryside.

Commenting on the changes, Ian Sutcliffe, Group Chief Executive, said, "We are delighted to welcome Becky to the role of Group COO. She has been an integral part of formulating and delivering strategy over the last three years. In Mike we have a talented and highly experienced finance professional who is fully ready to step up to the CFO role. We are delighted to welcome him to the Board."
