Winkworth reveals two high-profile board appointments

Winkworth has appointed two mergers and acquisition (M&A) specialists as non-executive directors.

The agency franchise brand has named Tom Fyson, managing director of corporate finance and adviser Blackdown Partners and equity analyst Jonathan Adams to its board.

The pair have become members of the Audit Committee and Remuneration Committee respectively, with effect from 4 June 2024.

It comes as rivals such as The Property Franchise Group have been on the acquisition trail in recent months, snapping up Belvoir, Fine & Country and The Guild of Property professionals.

Winkworth also announced that John Nicol, who has been a non-executive director of the company and a member of the Audit and Remuneration Committees since 10 June 2014, has elected to stand down with effect from 12 September 2024 to pursue his charitable interests. 

Simon Agace, non-executive chair of Winkworth, said: "Firstly, I would like to thank John Nicol for his unswerving dedication to Winkworth and the significant contribution that he has made to the development and direction of the company during his tenure.

"We are delighted to be welcoming two new members to the Board and look forward to Tom and Jonathan bringing not only their extensive professional expertise but also fresh pairs of eyes to the future growth of the company."
