Westminster Property Association to debate leadership succession

The Westminster Property Association will discuss the future of its leadership at next week’s board meeting following the departure of chairman Craig McWilliam. Grosvenor’s McWilliam has stepped down as chairman of the association, as well as leaving the firm where he was chief executive for Britain & Ireland. A spokesperson for the WPA said that in the interim its co vice-chairs Olivia Harris, chief executive of affordable housing charity Dolphin Living, and Paul Williams, incoming chief executive of Derwent London, would take on the chair’s responsibilities. McWilliam took over the role from James Cooksey, the Crown Estate’s director of central London, in February last year.
