British Retail Consortium (BRC) Director General Kevin Hawkins has announced he is to retire at the end of this year.
Kevin Hawkins will be 60 next month. He took over his current role in April 2004 having previously spent nine years as Director of Communications at Safeway Stores plc. For six years before that he was Director of Corporate Affairs for WH Smith Group plc.
Recruitment of a successor will be undertaken by a leading firm of search consultants.
BRC Chairman Sir Geoff Mulcahy said "Kevin has led the BRC through a period of accelerating change for the retail industry with remarkable success. We intend to appoint a similarly high calibre successor to this important job representing the retail industry in the UK and EU".
Until his retirement at the end of the year, it will be business as usual at the BRC with Kevin continuing to lead the organisation.
