Chestertons announces changes to its management team

June 29, 2018

Allan Collins appointed as Deputy Chairman of Chesterton Global Limited and Guy Gittins becomes Managing Director

Following its successful expansion and growth in the UK, Chestertons has announced two changes to its management team to help lead the business into the next exciting stage of its development. Former CEO Allan Collins has stepped into the role of Deputy Chairman of Chesterton Global Limited and Guy Gittins, previously Head of Sales, has assumed the role as Manging Director of the UK.

Allan first joined Chestertons in May 2012 as Chief Financial Officer and became CEO in March 2017. During his tenure, Allan helped build a stable and profitable business across all London divisions. Going forward Allan’s focus will be implementing an international strategy to create a strong and progressive global business.

Commenting on his appointment, Allan says: “Having turned Chestertons UK into a substantial, strong and growing business, I am delighted to be Deputy Chairman of the Worldwide Group. We are now well positioned to take the company to the next level, with a fantastic platform for growth. I am looking forward to building and drawing together all of the international businesses with the UK entity to create a truly global and seamless business which will benefit all of our clients.”

Guy was initially the Sales Director of the Chestertons Chelsea office, but after strengthening the sales department and increasing the branch revenue by 300% in his first year, he was promoted to company Sales Director in 2015 and then to Head of Residential Sales in 2016, during which he saw an uplift of group sales revenue of 20%, despite very challenging market conditions.

Guy comments: “I have been afforded a wonderful opportunity to take the business forward in my new role as Managing Director. In the seven years I have worked for Chestertons, I have seen it change, develop and improve continuously and I am determined to accelerate this to help the company become more successful. The outlook for the second half of the year is positive and I am looking forward to working closely with all departments to find new ways we can create value and help each other improve, whether it is through training, technology, support, or process.”
