Toby Courtauld, Chief Executive said: "During his fourteen years at GPE, Nick has been a highly regarded leader and partner. He has played a key role in maintaining strong financial discipline across the business while overseeing the delivery of a wide range of operational matters, and more recently the growth of our Fully Managed activities. Working with him has been hugely enjoyable and I wish him every success in his next role."

William Eccleshare, Chair, said: "Nick has been a valued member of the management team and on behalf of the Board I would like to thank him sincerely for his contribution to GPE and wish him the very best for the future."

Nick Sanderson, Chief Financial & Operating Officer, said: "I have greatly enjoyed my fourteen years at GPE, working with a fabulously collegiate team. Whilst the strong culture and strategic focus has been a constant, I am proud of the part I have played in evolving our customer offer and operating capabilities and in building GPE's outstanding platform for growth. I would like to thank everyone I have worked with during my time here, especially Toby and all my GPE colleagues."
