Montagu Evans managing partner Rob Bower has announced he his stepping down from the role at the end of March next year.
Bower, who has worked for the company for nearly 30 years and has served as managing partner for a decade, said his successor would be announced this summer with the role formally commencing on 1 April 2025 following a structured transition period.
Bower said the firm had been working with consultants PSFI over the past year to “help shape the future of our business, taking into account all our partners’ views and the feedback we get every year from our clients”.
In a statement, Bower said: “I’m proud to have served nearly 30 years at Montagu Evans in all, a place I fondly recognise as my second home. However, this is the right time to hand over to the next generation of leadership at our fantastic partnership.”
He continued: ‘I’m sure that Montagu Evans will continue to evolve and succeed as we respond to new ways of working, new clients, new opportunities and many other ways to secure our legacy for another 100 years – and more. And for me, these changes will mean the chance to recharge after an intense few years, and then to pursue a portfolio career within the real estate sector. There is still more to do.
“Right now, though, we are focused on ensuring as little disruption as possible to our teams and clients as they continue to do what they do best and we set up the partnership for its next phase of growth. Change brings opportunity, and I’m looking forward to keeping in touch and seeing what our next generation has to offer as they build on our legacy further in the many years ahead.”
