Colin Jones stepping down as Euromoney finance chief

Euromoney Institutional Investor announced on Thursday that Colin Jones, the group's finance director, had informed the board of his intention to retire by the summer of 2018.

The FTSE 250 company confirmed that until then, he would continue fully in role, implementing the group's growth strategy and ensuring a “smooth transition” to his successor when appointed.

“For 21 years, Colin has been instrumental in the growth and success of Euromoney,” said chairman John Botts.

“He has rightly earned the respect of the board, shareholders and the investor community.

“On behalf of the board, I would like to compliment and thank him for his remarkable commitment, loyalty and professionalism throughout this period.”

CEO Andrew Rashbass said that since he joined Euromoney two years ago, Jones had worked “tirelessly” to help develop and implement the group's new strategy.

“I look forward to continuing to work closely with Colin over the next 12 months as we recruit his successor.”
