The FTSE 250 company said Clemett had been with Workspace for more than 12 years, having joined the board as finance director in July 2007.
“The board has appointed Graham as our new chief executive officer after a rigorous selection process involving both internal and external candidates,” said chairman Daniel Kitchen.
“This process, combined with Graham's active leadership during the last few months and his track record within the business, gives the board confidence that he is the right person for this position.
“Graham has been an integral part of the strong executive team that successfully steered Workspace through challenging economic cycles, delivering impressive levels of income and profit growth, and we are confident that this will continue under his leadership.”
Graham Clemett himself said that Workspace was a “leading player” in one of UK property's “most exciting” sectors.
“We have a fantastic opportunity ahead of us, and I look forward to working closely with the talented Workspace team to ensure that we maintain our successful momentum.”
The board said a formal process to recruit a new chief financial officer would commence imminently, which would include external and internal candidates.
In the meantime, the role would be covered on a temporary basis by Workspace's finance team under Clemett’s supervision.
