HARGREAVES Lansdown cofounder Peter Hargreaves hopes to spend more time in the "foreign sunshine" as he retires and hands his board position to his son following the investment firm's £5.4-billion private equity takeover.
Peter Hargreaves co-founded Hargreaves Lansdown in 1981
Mr Hargreaves, who recently celebrated his 79th birthday, said the decision to pass on the role to his son Robert "marks a proud new chapter in the family legacy".
The Bristol-based firm said he had rejoined the board earlier this year to "provide continuity and support through a period of change" following its takeover by a private equity consortium including buyout giant CVC Capital Partners and the Abu Dhabi wealth fund, which completed in March.
