LONDON (Alliance News) - Laird PLC Tuesday said it has appointed Kevin Dangerfield as its new chief financial officer, to join its board as an executive director from Monday.
Dangerfield succeeds Tony Quinlan, who took up the role of chief executive officer of Laird last Wednesday. He replaced David Lockwood, who was poached to head up aerospace and defence technology company Cobham PLC.
Dangerfield was most recently chief financial officer of carbon and ceramic products manufacturer Morgan Advanced Materials PLC, where he also undertook a short period as interim chief executive officer. He also is a non-executive director of semiconductor and imaging technology company E2V Technologies PLC.
"I am delighted that Kevin will be joining the team. He is a strong, commercial CFO with broad exposure to a complex global manufacturing business; very relevant experience for Laird. Kevin will complement well the strong leadership team already in place," said Quinlan in a statement.
Shares in Laird were down 1.4% at 317.40 pence Tuesday afternoon.
