LONDON (Alliance News) - Spectris PLC said Monday it confirmed Andrew Heath's appointment as chief executive designate ahead of his appointment as CEO on September 28.
Earlier in July, the instrumentation and controls company said that Heath, who is the former CEO of Imagination Technologies Group PLC and of Alent PLC and prior to this spent 30 years at Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC, would join the company as its chief executive designate on September 3.
Heath will replace John O'Higgins, whose departure as CEO was announced in May. Higgins will leave the role "no later than" September 28, to ensure a smooth transition, the company said.
Shares in the FTSE 250-listed company were trading up 0.5% at 2,365.00 pence each early Monday morning.
