The UK’s Tingdene Group has announced a planned leadership transition that sees the appointment of a new chief executive officer.
After six years as group managing director and more than 30 years with the company, Ian Collier has stepped down and will instead continue to support and shape the business in his new role as group executive chair.
Ethan Zone, formerly strategy director, has taken over as CEO and managing director of Tingdene Group.
He joined Tingdene in 2020 and has been involved in shaping the company’s recent expansion.
Since joining the business in 2020, Ethan has played a pivotal role in leading strategy, modernising digital and operational process, launching Waterfront Living and expanding Tingdene’s operations from 40 to 55 sites across the UK, including the group’s first acquisition in Scotland.
I am extremely proud of what we have achieved together and of the strong business Tingdene is today.

Andy Dixon will continue as chief financial officer, ensuring continuity across the Group’s financial leadership.
“Joining Tingdene Group in 2020 was a significant and personal step,” said Zone.
“I feel extremely proud to continue our legacy and to take on the role of CEO at Tingdene Group.”
He continued: “Our recent growth reflects the strong foundations built over many years and the dedication of our leadership team and colleagues across the business.
Existing and new markets
“Following a period of expansion, our focus as a board and throughout the business remains on delivering a community and customer experience we are known for, while pursuing sustainable growth across both existing and new markets.”
Collier added: “After more than 30 years with Tingdene Group, it has been a privilege to serve as group managing director over the past six years.
“I am extremely proud of what we have achieved together and of the strong business Tingdene is today.
“This transition marks an exciting next chapter for the group. I have every confidence in Ethan’s leadership, vision, and commitment to Tingdene’s long-term success.”
