management team as they continue to develop and grow the
businesses, both in the UK and internationally."
Chris Holmes, Non-Executive Chairman, commented: "I am very
pleased that Peter has accepted the role of Chairman of Carr's. His
experience, latterly as CEO of Devro, will be hugely beneficial to
the Group and I am confident that Peter is the ideal candidate to
take over. I have no doubt that under his stewardship, Carr's will
continue to go from strength to strength and I look forward to
working together until I step down in January."
