Countryside announces that Graham Cherry, Chief Executive, Communities, has decided to retire from the company on 30 September 2019.
Graham, who recently turned 60, has been with Countryside for nearly 40 years in a variety of senior roles. He has played a key role in Countryside’s growth throughout his time in the business, including running both the Housebuilding and Partnerships divisions. He has been a figurehead for the business over four decades and we now wish him every happiness in his retirement.
Ian Sutcliffe, Group Chief Executive, said “Graham has been instrumental in helping to grow Countryside and transform it into the company it is today. He has been a great colleague and he leaves the business in good shape to continue to grow the company his father originally founded. On behalf of the Board and everyone at Countryside, I would like to thank Graham for all he has contributed to the Group and wish him all the best for his retirement.”
