CEO Succession
After 23 years at Persimmon, David Jenkinson has informed the
board of his wish to step down as Group CEO in due course. He has
signalled his intention early to give the board good time to
recruit a successor. Dave will remain in the CEO role and fully
committed to leading the ongoing programme of change for as long as
the business requires.
Roger Devlin, Chairman of Persimmon, said: "Dave has played a
critical role in the development of a new Persimmon. As Chief
Executive he quickly set about designing and implementing a
programme of change and started the process of resetting the
culture of the business. Under his leadership Persimmon has
invested in a range of customer care and quality initiatives,
prioritised customers over volume, became the first UK housebuilder
to implement a retention policy and will achieve an HBF 4-star
rating. Throughout this period of significant change, the
operational performance of the business has remained strong.
"Dave has the full support of the board and will continue to do
so until he leaves. I am grateful that Dave has signalled his
intention to step down at an early stage to give us the time to
carry out a thorough search process and to continue the evolution
of the business."
David Jenkinson said: "I'm very pleased with the progress that
we've made over the last year in reshaping Persimmon's approach and
culture while at the same time maintaining our operational
momentum. Persimmon is an outstanding business with a strong
balance sheet and a great team of talented and dedicated people who
mean a great deal to me. I will remain fully committed to both the
CEO role and to our programme of change until my last day in the
job."
