Henry Boot has announced that Nick Duckworth will step down from the role of managing director of Hallam Land Management, its land promotion business, at the end of the year.
The listed company has already started the process of looking for his successor. Duckworth will remain with the business until the end of the year, allowing for an orderly transition of his responsibilities.
Hallam Land was formed in 1989, and Duckworth joined the business in 1992, establishing the South West office five years later.
In 33 years of his time at Hallam, Duckworth held a number of positions before becoming managing director in 2016.
During his time at Hallam, Duckworth played a key role in the success of the business, growing the land bank to over 100,000 residential plots and completing on the sale of over 24,000 plots.
Tim Roberts, chief executive at Henry Boot, said: “Nick has made a significant contribution to the success of Hallam Land and is well respected both within the business and the land promotion industry.
“Hallam Land has grown significantly during his tenure, and we now have a nationwide team in place that has a strong track record of managing value from one of the largest land portfolios in the UK. On behalf of the board and everyone at Henry Boot I wish him all the best for the future.”
Nick Duckworth, managing director at Hallam Land, said: “After 33 years at Hallam Land, I’ve decided that the time is right to step down. I leave the business well positioned with a very capable team focused on accelerating projects and planning applications to deliver much-needed homes across the country. Following a short break my intention is to establish a strategic land advisory consultancy.”
