Pick n Pay announces retirement of Hugh Herman
Hugh Herman will be retiring from the board of directors of Pick n Pay after the annual general meeting to be held on 26 July 2022.
An attorney, Hugh was appointed as an executive director when he joined Pick n Pay as head of legal in 1976. In 1986 he became the first managing director of Pick n Pay, working alongside Raymond Ackerman as executive chairman. In 1993 Hugh joined Investec Bank and became group chair a year later. He retired from this position in 2011. His valued strategic oversight and expertise in the retail, legal, financial and property sectors was not lost to Pick n Pay, however, as he stayed on the board as a non-executive director.
Hugh will continue to act as a consultant to the board in the coming financial period.
