APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Unite Group plc, the UK's leading owner, manager and developer
of student accommodation, today announces the appointment of Angela
Jain as a Non-Executive Director. Angela will join the Board on
1(st) August 2023.
Angela has enjoyed a very successful career in the commercial
television industry at ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, with a strong
focus on younger audiences. For the past twelve years she has held
senior executive roles at ITV where she is currently Director of
Unscripted UK television. In her roles she has commissioned and
developed many of the most popular and commercially successful
programmes of the past twenty years, including Love Island, Misfits
and The Inbetweeners.
This focus on younger audiences has required Angela to remain
in-touch with this generation giving her deep knowledge and
understanding of the needs, wants and behaviours of young people.
This experience and understanding is very relevant to Unite's
customer base.
In addition, Angela has Non-Executive Director experience having
sat on the Boards of BusinessLDN for the past eight years, where
she is currently Deputy Chair, gaining strong insights into the
broader business community, government and other key stakeholders
in London. She has also served as a Non-Executive Director on the
Board of ITN.
Angela will join Unite's Health & Safety Committee, where
her extensive experience of working in unscripted television
focused on younger audiences will provide valuable wellbeing and
safeguarding insight.
Richard Huntingford, Chairman of Unite Group, commented:
"I am delighted to welcome Angela to the Board as a
Non-Executive Director. She will be a great addition to the Board
bringing a detailed understanding of our students, their changing
needs, and what really matters to them as Unite customers. This, in
addition to her extensive digital, brand and comms experience, will
add significant value to the Board and the Unite business. I look
forward very much to working with Angela."

Listing Rule 9.6.13.
