Conveyancing Association’s Heathcote steps down as chair – Mortgage Strategy
The Conveyancing Association’s non-executive chair Nicky Heathcote will step down from her role as she nears the end of her second term leading the association.
Heathcote will remain in post while the board appoints her successor.
During her tenure, Heathcote has led a number of initiatives designed to strengthen the association and ensure it continues to represent the interests of conveyancing professionals across the UK.
Following the appointment of her successor, Heathcote will continue to play an active role across the property sector as chair of the PCCB Compliance Committee and as a member of the Women in Conveyancing Committee.
The association also confirmed that treasurer and one of the original founders of the Conveyancing Association David Hodgson is stepping down from the board.
The process of appointing successors to both board positions is now underway.
Commenting on the announcement, Heathcote says: “Chairing the Conveyancing Association has given me the opportunity to work alongside our members and organisations across the wider property industry, all with a shared ambition to improve the home buying and selling process.”
“During that time, we have strengthened the Association’s governance, developed a strategy that puts members at the heart of everything we do and ensured the profession has had a strong voice across Government consultations and industry reform.”
The Conveyancing Association’s Eddie Goldsmith states: “The Board would like to thank Nicky for the leadership, commitment and direction she has provided to the Association. Under her tenure, the CA has strengthened its governance and continued to ensure the views of conveyancing professionals are represented across Government, industry and regulatory discussions.”
He adds: “We would also like to thank David Hodgson for his outstanding contribution as Treasurer, managing the CA not for profit books and his wider contribution during his 25 years with the Association. He has done an incredible job. The process of appointing their successors is now underway.”
