New position for JHP co-founder

JHP co-founder John Herbert has stepped down after 23 years as managing director to take up a non-executive role with the consultancy. Strategic director Steve Collis and creative director Raj Wilkinson will take over as joint managing directors.

A spokeswoman for the group says there are no immediate plans to replace Collis or Wilkinson’s former roles.

Herbert, who will become joint non-executive chairman with his wife Patricia, began his career in design in 1960.
