like to express the Board's deep appreciation of the enormous
contribution that Malcolm has made to Bovis Homes over almost 40
years that he has been with the Company, having served both as
Chief Executive and latterly as Chairman. Bovis Homes would not be
what it is today without his leadership and values."
David Ritchie, Chief Executive said:
"I am extremely pleased that Ian is joining the Board as
non-executive Chairman and look forward to working with him as the
Group continues the ongoing successful execution of its growth
strategy and the delivery of improving shareholder returns. I would
like to thank Malcolm Harris for his leadership and guidance over
many years, in particular as Chairman over the last five years,
supporting me in my role as Chief Executive. I wish him all the
very best for the future."
Ian Tyler said:
"I am both honoured and excited to be taking over from Malcolm
Harris as Chairman. Bovis Homes is a great company and I'm looking
forward to working with David, his management team and the
Board."
