It is acknowledged at Board level that the company has a very strong business development culture and has experienced continued success at winning business in its core markets and new service areas. The Board seeks to strengthen the operational focus of the business with a view on improving profitability whilst also implementing a strategic review to determine the combination of services that may represent the optimal future value of the business.

As a result, the Board is seeking to appoint a Chief Executive to complement the more entrepreneurial style of the existing senior team to achieve these strategic objectives and ultimately enhance shareholder value. In effect, this new executive will be tasked with converting the strategic vision for the business, as devised by the Board, into reality in a timely and profitable manner.

The nature of the role demands the appointment of a senior executive with a successful track record in developing operational excellence and improved profitability and an individual who displays exceptional leadership skills associated with leading and directing people in a high quality, service based environment.
