Jamie Whitty-Lewis has been appointed CEO of Grosvenor’s UK property business, effective 1 December 2025. He succeeds James Raynor, who took up the role of CEO of Grosvenor’s international property business (Grosvenor Property) in September.
Jamie is currently GPUK’s Executive Director of Finance and was due to become the business’s CFO from April 2026. As a result of his promotion to CEO, the latter role will now continue to be held by current GPUK CFO Debbie Lee.

Commenting on the appointment, James Raynor, CEO of Grosvenor Property, said:
“I am delighted to have Jamie succeed me in the role of CEO of our UK property business. He has a deep understanding of our London Estate, having been responsible for its financial management; wide-ranging experience and expertise built in a variety of roles, including as Grosvenor Reporting Director, and a natural leadership style that I am confident will guide the business through its continued growth trajectory, supported by an exceptionally strong executive team”.
Jamie Whitty-Lewis commented:
“I am honoured to take up the role of CEO of Grosvenor Property UK and to be given the opportunity to build on the commercial success we have achieved in recent years, the environmental leadership we have demonstrated and the strength of the partnerships we have forged.
We have some outstanding projects to deliver, including the creation of South Molton, London’s West End’s largest mixed-use development and the transformation of Grosvenor Square. Through a significant voluntary contribution, this will create a biodiverse urban garden while providing wide-ranging benefit to the West End. I am also excited about the further growth of our private credit business, funding projects that boost housing supply and help decarbonise the built environment. It is a great privilege to lead such a talented team, and I am excited for everything that we can achieve together.”
