The Clear Group today announces that Howard Lickens, the last remaining founder of the business, will retire at the end of this year. Howard has been instrumental in shaping Clear since its formation in 2001, helping to build the strong foundation on which the Group has grown significantly over the past two decades.
While Howard may continue to support Clear in certain activities from time to time, this marks the end of an era for the Group. His vision and leadership have been central to Clear’s success and evolution into the thriving organisation it is today.
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."
Howard Lickens added:
"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.
