Mr Hattersley – formerly finance director at Birmingham International Airport – will take up his new role in the autumn.
He said: “I am very pleased to be joining Clarion at such an exciting stage of its development. Not only is it the country’s largest landlord but it has significant ambitions – not least its plans to build 50,000 homes over 10 years.
“I am looking forward to working with my new colleagues at Clarion to ensure the group maintains its financial strength in order to deliver the full scale of its ambitions.”
Ruth Cooke, chief executive at Clarion, said: “Mark has first-rate experience and spent the last three years at Sovereign where he oversaw a whole business cost efficiency programme and managed a large-scale bond and bank financing structure.”
