The British Property Federation (BPF) has appointed Becky Worthington, Deputy Chief Executive of Quintain, and Jonathan Thompson, International Chairman Real Estate, Building and Construction at KPMG, to its Board.

Both will join the Board, which provides corporate governance to the BPF, at its meeting on 4 September for a three year term. They succeed Ian Marcus from Evans Property Group and John Richards, from Värde, whose terms have now ended.

These appointments follow two changes at the Federation's AGM in July. Alan Leibowitz, Joint Managing Director of Dorrington, took over as Honorary Treasurer from Trevor Moross, also Joint Managing Director of Dorrington, who had held the position for the last six years.


Finally, Bill Hughes, Managing Director of Legal & General Property, became the BPF's Junior Vice President and is in line to become President in 2014.

Liz Peace, the BPF's Chief Executive, said: "I am delighted that both Becky and Jonathan will be joining the BPF board. Together they bring enormous experience in the finance and construction industry. Our continued success in representing the industry is down to the involvement and commitment of our members and I am sure that their guidance and that of both Alan and Bill, will benefit us tremendously. We are hugely grateful to Ian, John and Trevor for their valuable input in recent years."
