If you are covering the appointment of Adam Daniels as CEO of Vistry, please find below a comment from Oli Creasey, head of property research at Quilter Cheviot:
“Vistry provided the market with a surprise this morning with the announcement of Adam Daniels' appointment as CEO. Rob Woodward is also taking up the role of Chair, which means that Greg Fitzgerald is stepping down from both roles with immediate effect.
“While the transition of both roles has been well-flagged, the timeline comes as a surprise, with the search for the new CEO in particular guided to take until March 2027 at the latest. While investors may be reassured to see the transition not drag on, and see a well-respected internal candidate take on the CEO role, they may also be confused as to why guidance was provided just over a month ago that the search might take up to a year to complete, especially as Vistry now tell us that a "multi-year CEO succession plan" has already concluded.”
