Insurance broker The Clear Group has announced the retirement of Howard Lickens, the founder of the business with Gary O’Donnell, at the end of this year.
Mike Edgeley, Group CEO, commented: “Howard’s contribution to Clear cannot be overstated. From the very beginning, his passion and commitment have helped transform Clear from a start-up into a leading player in the market. On behalf of everyone at Clear, I want to thank Howard for his extraordinary dedication and wish him all the very best for the future.”
Lickens’s departure marks the close of a major chapter for the Group. His vision and leadership were fundamental to Clear’s evolution and its current success as a thriving organisation.
Though he will no longer be in his previous role, the executive is expected to offer occasional support to Clear in specific activities.
Lickens said: “It has been an incredible journey since 2001. Watching Clear grow and succeed has been a privilege, and I am immensely proud of what we have achieved together. While I will miss the day-to-day involvement, I look forward to seeing Clear continue to flourish in the years ahead.”
“The Clear Group extends its heartfelt thanks to Howard for his vision, leadership, and unwavering commitment over the past 24 years. We wish him a happy and fulfilling retirement,” Clear stated.
