Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, has announced the appointment of Jonathan Board as the company’s new head of pharmacy and the retirement of long-standing director, Tony Evans.
After 36 years with the company, Tony Evans, Christie & Co’s director and head of pharmacy, has announced his retirement from the business, to take effect at the end of 2024. Instrumental in the development of the company’s pharmacy business in 2010, Tony has led the team to great success, establishing it as the UK’s leading pharmacy brokerage.
Tony has decided to take early retirement to spend more time with his family in Australia, and will be succeeded by fellow director, Jonathan Board, who will formally assume the position as the head of pharmacy in January 2025.
Jonathan Board, director – pharmacy at Christie & Co, comments, “I am delighted to succeed Tony in heading up our pharmacy team and to further build on the successes we have achieved together. Having worked alongside Tony for over 20 years, with the last 15 years developing the pharmacy side of the business, I am excited to announce that we will look to further expand the team and service offering over the next few months. I, along with the rest of our team, wish Tony all the best in his well-earned early retirement.”
Tony Evans, head of pharmacy at Christie & Co, comments, “It has been an absolute honour to work at Christie & Co for over three and a half decades. Having operated across all sectors, nothing has made me prouder than to have developed our market-leading service alongside trusted and valued colleagues in our pharmacy team. Whilst I will be sad to leave the team and sector, which have offered so much enjoyment and fulfilment, with my growing family living halfway around the world, I am excited to be writing our family’s next chapter spending more time in Australia. I am delighted to be succeeded by Jonathan Board who has collaborated tirelessly with me over the past 15 years in expanding and delivering the service we offer today.”
Paul Graham, managing director of medical at Christie & Co, comments, “Tony Evans has played a pivotal role in shaping our pharmacy division into the market leader it is today, and working alongside him has been a privilege. Tony’s expertise and leadership have made a lasting impact on the business and the entire team. As Jonathan Board takes over, we are confident he will continue to build on the solid foundation that Tony has laid, driving further growth and success. We sincerely thank Tony for his remarkable contributions and wish him all the best in his well-earned retirement.”
