Proposed Board Changes
The Board of Utilitywise plc (AIM:UTW), the leading independent
utility cost management consultancy, today announces a number of
planned board changes.
Geoff Thompson, who founded Utilitywise in 2006, will move to a
new role on the Board as Executive Chairman. The Board has
identified a high calibre external candidate to replace Geoff as
Chief Executive Officer and will announce further details once the
new CEO's start date is contractually agreed. Geoff's new role will
commence on the same date.
Richard Feigen, who has chaired the Company since its flotation
in 2012, will remain on the Board as a Non-Executive Director
following these changes. The Company also intends to create the new
role of Senior Independent Non-Executive Director, for which a
suitably experienced candidate is currently being sought.
Commenting on the announcement, Geoff Thompson said:
"At this time of evolution and growth for Utilitywise, I am
looking forward to starting my new role as Executive Chairman,
which will enable me to focus on Group strategy and key client
relationships whilst remaining firmly involved in the business.
The new Chief Executive Officer will lead an already robust
executive team, which has been strengthened with the recent
appointments of Brin Sheridan as Chief Operating Officer and
Adrienne McFarland as People Operations Director, and will focus on
driving growth and maximising opportunities in order to realise the
ambitions of our Company and take us to the next level of
success.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Richard Feigen for
his excellent chairmanship over the last four years and for his
continuing support going forward."
