Ian Potter, managing director of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) is to retire from the role on 13 June next year, it has been announced.
ARLA is now beginning an extensive search for a suitable successor, working with specialist recruitment consultant, Property Personnel.
It said that the role will be predominately outward facing, with the responsibility for liaising externally with ARLA stakeholders and its extensive membership across the UK.
The new managing director also will be responsible for increasing membership, act as ARLA's main expert industry spokesperson in the media and will also be the principal representative for interactions with government and other industry organisations.
Potter's retirement follows seven years with ARLA. Previously he was the chairman of the Scottish regional branch in 1992, before joining the ARLA National Council. He has also held senior positions with a number of letting agencies, as well as working in the banking sector with TSB Scotland.
'Ian has been a credit to ARLA during his time with the organisation. I know he is held in the highest regard among those in the lettings industry and beyond. He is a true expert in his field and has campaigned tirelessly for much-needed Government regulation of the sector,' said Mark Hayward, managing director of the National Association of Estate Agents, ARLA's sister organisation.
'As managing director, he has run ARLA's internal affairs in an exemplary fashion, while still finding time to regularly comment on industry matters in the media, as well as positively informing government policy. I must personally thank him for leaving the organisation in fantastic shape, with membership growing, and we must now look forward to finding a suitable successor,' he added.
