Creasey & Son, along with its subsidiary companies Creasey’s and Creasey’s (Franchise) has announced significant changes to its Board as the family-run business transitions from its fourth to fifth generation of leadership.
Effective from Friday, 1 August, outgoing managing director Peter Creasey has assumed the role of chairman, replacing his brother Tony, who will remain as a director. Jonathan Creasey, who has worked in the business for 15 years, has taken over as managing director, while chartered accountant Ben Creasey – the latest member of the family to join the business – has been appointed as company secretary.
Peter Creasey said: “I grew up in the family business, and I remember my father kept coming to work into his quite late senior years. I realised a few years ago that I was in danger of sleepwalking into doing just that.
“We’re in a different position today than when my father and uncle retired, in that we now have a much stronger management team. This is the right time to step back and give others the opportunities I enjoyed.”
Jonathan Creasey said: “For the immediate future, nothing really changes, as we have great management teams running both of our businesses. There’s still a great future for the High Street. Town and the High Street are so important for our island community.”
Ben Creasey said: “With the incumbent financial controller retiring, it was the perfect opportunity to fit into a role suited to my experience. I’m excited and honoured to be a part of this next chapter for Creasey’s.”
