However he will remain to handover to Max Wright, who will take the reins as chief executive for the foreseeable future whilst a permanent replacement is recruited.
Crawford said, “I am proud that I leave behind one of the strongest management teams in the financial services sector.
“The network is in great shape and the team are implementing a 4 year vision and strategy, which will continue to differentiate it from everyone else in the market.
“I know Personal Touch will continue to be successful and I wish the team well as they continue to take the business forward.”
Wright who is currently a non-executive director on the Personal Touch Board said, “Doug has done a great job in building a solid infrastructure for the business to face the challenges the changing financial service sector is bringing.
“On behalf of the Board I would like to thank him for his hard work and leadership and our best wishes as he moves to take up his next challenge.
“We have started the search process for a replacement and in the meantime it is business as usual through a highly motivated and capable management team.”
