1st February 2016, ASX Announcement

Charter Hall Group (ASX: CHC) (Charter Hall or the Group) today announced that David Harrison has been appointed Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director (CEO/MD) of the Group, with David Southon electing to step down as Joint Managing Director (JMD) following the Board and JMDs’ decision to move to a single CEO/MD structure.

Charter Hall Chair, David Clarke, confirmed the Board and JMDs have been working towards transitioning to a single CEO/MD  structure over the past nine months as part of their focus on succession planning and building a strong leadership team for the Group.

“Ensuring the Group has the right senior leadership capability and structure to support its future plans has been a key focus for the Board and JMDs over the past three years. Given the Group’s significant growth, the work undertaken by the JMDs on building the leadership  team through a number of key appointments and in positioning the business for the future, we believe now is the appropriate time to move to the single cEO/MD structure,” Mr Clarke said.

David Harrison will assume the CEO/MD role immediately, with founder David Southon to be available to the business for up to 12 months to facilitate a smooth handover and assist with the transition to the CEO/MD structure.
