'Off to the sunshine' Co-founder of city investment giant retires

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.
