The Crown Estate is a £16bn UK business with a portfolio unlike any other. We work across communities, cities, countryside, coast and the seabed, with a responsibility - and a very significant opportunity - to play our part for the benefit of the nation, its finances and its future.
At the heart of our business lies a set of core duties - to grow both the value of the portfolio into perpetuity and the income we return to Treasury. Established though an Act of Parliament, we operate independently and commercially, occupying a space between the public and private sectors. We have been set up to serve the country and today we express this through our stated purpose: To create lasting and shared prosperity for the nation.
The Crown Estate Board provides strategic oversight of the business with management delegated to the Chief Executive and the Group Leadership Team. We would like to identify an exceptional individual to join the Board as Chair and First Commissioner.
The Crown Estate embraces diversity and promotes equality of opportunity; we welcome qualified applicants from all backgrounds.
