Directorate Change
Getech (AIM: GTC) a company that locates energy and minerals
essential to the energy transition, today announces that Dr
Jonathan Copus has notified the Board of his decision to step down
as Group CEO and Director on 28 February 2023, following which he
will be available to the Board and the executive team to ensure a
smooth and successful handover.
As of today's date, Richard Bennett will assume the role of
interim Executive Chairman, Mr. Bennett joined the Board of
Directors in January 2021 as Non-Executive Chairman, bringing
extensive experience in technology and renewable energy.
Getech has commenced a search for a new CEO and will update the
market on the results of this search in due course.
Richard Bennett, Getech Chair commented:
"The Board and I would like to thank Jonathan for his seven
years of service. Jonathan has successfully repositioned Getech's
business and applied the company's geoscience and geospatial
expertise to new markets within the energy transition, in
particular the search for critical minerals, geothermal, hydrogen
and carbon storage projects. The products and solutions developed
are vital for these fast-growing sectors and form the foundation
for the future growth of the Company. We thank Jonathan for his
time and dedication to Getech and wish him every success with his
future ventures."
Dr Jonathan Copus commented:
"In my time as Getech's CEO, I am proud of how the business has
transformed into a champion of the energy transition, taking unique
products and solutions that we built for the petroleum industry,
and revolutionising their use to locate geothermal, carbon storage,
hydrogen and critical mineral assets.
Since raising growth capital in 2021, we have increased revenue
by 40% and significantly diversified and decarbonised the sources
of this revenue - with over 33% now coming from non-hydrocarbon
origin. Underpinning this is an orderbook that has grown by 70%, to
a record high, and Getech has begun 2023 with a strong asset-backed
balance sheet. I have personally decided that now is the right time
for me to take up a new challenge. The Company is in a strong
position, and I am certain it will thrive under new leadership.
"
