Countrywide non-executive chairman retires

Countrywide has announced that Harry Hill will retire from his position as non-executive chairman at the end of the year.

Hill will formerly retire as chairman at the end of 2009 but will continue to advise Countrywide in addition to his many other business and family interests.

Grenville Turner, chief executive of Countrywide, says: “Harry has led Countrywide through periods of enormous growth and unparallelled success in a number of key roles over the last 23 years.

“I have known Harry for over 10 years and worked with him for almost four years, during which time he has become a good friend and will remain an adviser to myself and the board going forward.

“While Harry’s business achievements are universally recognised, I would personally like to add that he should also be recognised for having built the open, honest and successful culture, which lies at heart of Countrywide.”
