Rightmove plc ('Rightmove'), the UK's no. 1 property website, announces today that Nick McKittrick has notified the Board of his intention to retire as Chief Executive and as a Board director of the Company at the forthcoming AGM on 9 May 2017.

Nick will remain with the Company until 30 June 2017 to ensure a smooth transition process.
Rightmove Chairman, Scott Forbes said:
"Nick has served Rightmove with 16 years of leadership, as remarkable for his success as with the modest way he has achieved it. I speak on behalf of the Board and Rightmove employees when I say that we will miss Nick on both a personal and professional level. We have greatly appreciated his contribution to Rightmove's success and we wish him the very best for the future.
The Board always has a focus on long-term succession plans and in Peter we have a strong, experienced and ready successor who has held positions of responsibility for nearly every functional area within Rightmove."
Nick McKittrick said:
"It has been a remarkable journey over the last 16 years and one that I feel privileged to have been part of. I am immensely proud of the vibrant culture and business we have built together. Thank you to every Rightmover for everything you have done and for making Rightmove such a great place to work. I look forward to watching Rightmove's continued success."
Separately today, Rightmove plc has issued their full year results statement for the year ended 31 December 2016.
