"We are very pleased to welcome Edouard to our team, following a global search process he stood out as a proactive, extremely well qualified, capable and ambitious candidate. Edouard joins Trinity at a significant milestone where we are focused on delivering a step-change in the scale of our business and we look forward to his contribution to a strengthened leadership team on delivering on our growth aspirations. Edouard's appointment also allows Jeremy, in his role as Managing Director, to apply even greater focus to the overriding target of scaling the business and delivering shareholder value."
