London, 24 November 2025:

Hello Neighbour, the property-tech platform dedicated to making renting easier and fairer for landlords and tenants, has appointed Jamie Dunkley as an Independent Non-Executive Director.

Jamie brings more than 15 years’ experience in journalism, communications and strategic advisory roles. He joins Hello Neighbour’s Board with immediate effect and will support the business as it continues to raise standards in the lettings market and champion a model that makes renting simpler, fairer and more transparent for both landlords and tenants.

A former journalist at The Daily Telegraph and the London Evening Standard, Jamie went on to hold senior in-house communications roles at FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 companies before becoming a Senior Advisor at Woburn Partners, where he works with founders and leadership teams on reputation, public affairs and strategic communications. His experience spans property, infrastructure, sustainability and financial services, with a particular focus on helping purpose-led companies articulate clear narratives and build trust with policymakers, media and stakeholders.

Phil Shelley, Non-Executive Chairman at Hello Neighbour, said: "Jamie brings a combination of serious journalistic experience and senior-level communications leadership, shaped across national media and FTSE-listed businesses. His understanding of how reputation, messaging and scrutiny intersect will be highly valuable as Hello Neighbour continues to grow and sharpen its voice in a changing lettings market. We are very pleased to welcome him to the Board.”

Jamie Dunkley added: "Hello Neighbour is building a thoughtful and practical approach to lettings at a time when higher standards really matter. The platform reflects a clear focus on fairness, transparency and professionalism and I am pleased to support a business that is genuinely committed to changing lettings for good. I look forward to working with the Board as the company continues to grow and strengthen its role in the market."
