27th Mar 2018 13:02

LONDON (Alliance News) - Digital marketing service firm Be Heard Group PLC announced on Tuesday the appointment of Simon Pyper as chief financial officer with effect from April.

Back in January, Be Heard appointed executive chairman, Peter Scott, as chief executive instead, while also deciding to separate the roles of CFO and chief operating officer. Until an appointment is made, Robin Price will continue in both roles.

David Morrison, currently non-executive director of the company, has been appointed as non-executive chairman with immediate effect.

Pyper was finance director of Datamonitor PLC, a B2B media company acquired by Informa PLC, and finance director of Musgrave UK, the Irish grocery wholesaler and franchisor which acquired Budgens PLC and Londis.

Chief operating officer responsibilities will be shared between Pyper and Peter Scott, who was appointed as chief executive in January. Meanwhile, Robin Price, who had been serving as interim CFO and COO, and Ian Maude, who had been development director, will step down from the board in April.

Shares in Be Heard were up 2.2% at 2.27 pence per share on Tuesday.
