Rightmove plc has revealed that Robyn Perriss intends to step down as finance director of the group.

It is expected that she will leave during the second quarter of 2020.

Perriss will continue to act as finance director for the group over the coming months and support the recruitment of her successor.

She said: “It has been an enormous privilege to have been part of the Rightmove journey and its success for more than a decade. I am immensely proud to have worked in such an outstanding and innovative growth business and alongside so many talented Rightmovers.

“Rightmove is in a strong financial position with exciting opportunities ahead as it continues to innovate to make home moving easier.”

Peter Brooks Johnson, Rightmove’s CEO, added: “Robyn has been a huge asset to Rightmove. In the dozen years she has been with Rightmove, firstly as financial controller and latterly as finance director, Rightmove’s revenue has grown by nearly five times.

“Robyn has been an integral part of this journey, most notably through guiding our finance function as it has developed during a period of strong growth and ensured that our investors remained informed and fully engaged.”
