Savills plc said John Nixon has been appointed as a non‑executive director, with the appointment taking effect on 17 September 2026. The international real‑estate advisory firm highlighted Nixon’s long track record in senior leadership and board roles.
Nixon joins Savills after more than two decades of experience across financial services. Since 2015 he has served on the board of electronic‑trading firm Virtu Financial, and since 2018 he has been a member of the U.S. Advisory Board of Temasek Holdings. Earlier in his career he was an executive director at ICAP plc from 2002 to 2015, a partner at Veritas Capital Management between 1998 and 2002, and held senior positions at Tullett & Tokyo Forex International, including chief executive from 1995 to 1997.
Stacey Cartwright, chair of Savills, said the new director "brings a wealth of experience from senior leadership and board roles, together with a strong track record of helping businesses navigate periods of change and growth." The company added that no further information is required under the UK Listing Authority’s Listing Rules in connection with the appointment.
The appointment adds to Savills’ board composition as it continues to pursue growth in the global real‑estate advisory market.
