Robert M Sampson will be stepping back from any day to day involvement in the business on June 30.

Frank Key’s Chairman Robert M Sansom is to retire after 50+ years serving builders, construction companies, and DIY markets within Nottinghamshire and beyond,

Sansom has decided at the ripe old age of 75 in December, and after a year like no other, that the time is right for me to step back and enjoy a well-earned rest.

Sanson said: "I feel very lucky to have a family behind me, supporting this decision, and a brilliant Management Team to keep Frank Key on track.

"My confidence in the Management Team and strengthened Board means that as from 30 June 2021, I will be stepping back from any day to day involvement in the business. Ownership will remain within our family, as it was when I took over."

The business will continue to provide a wide range of support for customers for many years to come as Frank Key continues to deliver outstanding service to the building, DIY and construction sectors.
