Warehouse REIT plc announces the appointment of Dominic O'Rourke as an independent non-executive director, effective immediately. Dominic is currently Group Property Director for FTSE 100 retailer Next plc, a role he has held since 2014, where he oversees Next's real estate activities across retail and store development, distribution and facilities management. Prior to this, he spent 13 years at Land Securities Group plc, where he was a Director and Retail Executive Committee Member.

The appointment of Dominic forms part of Warehouse REIT's board succession strategy, following Martin Meech's decision not to stand for re-election at the Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") in order to take up an executive position in the real estate industry. Following these changes Dominic will join the Audit & Risk and Sustainability Committees and becomes Head of the Management Engagement Committee. Aimee Pitman, an existing non-executive director, will assume the role of Senior Independent Director.
