NOVUS PROPERTY SOLUTIONS PAYS TRIBUTE AS ‘CAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY’ JOHN SEDDON RETIRES

After 73 years with the business, family patriarch ‘Mr’ John Seddon has announced that he will step down from his role as Non-executive Director at the JSSH Group, parent company of Novus Property Solutions, to begin his well-earned retirement.

Mr John was the third generation of the Seddon family to join the business when he started work as an apprentice bricklayer back in 1952, where he prospered under the guidance of his father, uncle, and grandfather. His legacy will continue to guide our business, with his strong family values and ethical approach deeply embedded into our culture and the way we operate.

His long service to the family company, including a period as Chairman of the Seddon Group, was also mirrored in his commitment and impact on the wider construction sector. During his seven decades in the business, Mr John saw the family business expand and go from strength to strength, eventually branching out into separate construction and maintenance businesses, with Novus Property Solutions being created in 2013.

Mr John will remain on hand to guide the company’s current shareholders, as well as future fifth and sixth generation family members, helping them prepare to step up as the future owners of the business.
