John Nichols will retire as chief executive officer of H&T
Group plc on 31 December 2020 after nearly 24 years' service.
Nichols will remain as a consultant to the company for six months
thereafter. He will be succeeded as CEO by Chris Gillespie on 1
January 2021, who has recently joined the H&T board.
Peter McNamara, H&T chairman, said
"John executed a management buyout of the firm in September 2004
and was instrumental in its subsequent successful flotation onto
the AIM market. At the time of the flotation we had 69 branches,
and now we are at 252 branches which is a testament to John's drive
and effort. We have over that time become the leading pawnbroker in
the UK under his leadership.
"Much of what the business has achieved has been as a result of
John's close understanding of the business, his belief in the
longevity and resilience of our core business activity as well as
his working relationships with the branch colleagues. Together
their contribution has been key to the success of H&T where
others in the sector have often not prospered.
"On behalf of the board and everyone at H&T, I offer John
our congratulations upon his retirement. We wish him a long,
healthy and doubtless very active retirement."
Peter McNamara
Chairman
