Through the period of Gavin’s tenure as Executive Chairman, the company has delivered on its growth strategy, grown substantially and put a platform in place to underpin substantial future growth. I am delighted that Gavin will be staying as Managing Director & CEO to help continue guiding the company through the many attractive growth opportunities we see.”
