Long-serving property specialist announces retirement
Following a career spanning 43 years within the property sector, the last 23 years of which has been with Pennycuick Collins, Richard Moxon has announced his retirement.
Richard began his career at James & Lister Lea in 1979 where he assisted with urban and rural estate management.
He then progressed to WS Atkins Property Services in 1993 where he was quickly promoted to regional manager for estate management, providing a full range of surveying services in both Birmingham and Nottingham.
After a number of successful years within established companies, Richard set up his own business in 1998; Richard Moxon & Associates before merging with Pennycuick & Brown to create an enlarged practice a year later.
Following further integration with Perry & Deakin and Collin Son & Harvey, in 2001, the business was re-named Pennycuick Collins.
Aside from his role within Pennycuick Collins, Richard has been influential throughout the property sector. He has been on the board of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and was the Chair of RICS UK & Ireland World Regional Board for the majority of this time where he assisted in setting practise standards throughout the sector.
Additionally, Richard has also been a member of the Industrial Advisory Board at Wolverhampton University.
Talking about his retirement, Richard said: “I am now only just beginning to reflect on my career but I have been blessed to work with and for some wonderful people, good companies and clients.
“Forty-three years is a lifetime and I have been lucky to work in the built environment sector and on some fantastic projects I can genuinely say I have enjoyed most of my working life. In particular since joining Pennycuick Collins the last 23 years has been a truly incredible journey and it give me immense pleasure to reflect on how the company has grown and developed in that time.
“I have undertaken various representative roles within the RICS and wider business community which have added to the rich nature of my career and to those bodies and individuals involved I give my thanks as I not only contributed but also they gave me valuable, knowledge, lessons and skills which I was able to take back into the company and working life.
“I would like especially to wish the directors and staff at Pennycuick Collins the very best for the future and for their help and friendship along the way during my time at the company, you really are a great team. I know there are exciting times ahead for the business and I know you continue to grow and take advantage of all the opportunities along the way. ”
