Appointment of CFO
GetBusy plc (AIM: GETB) is pleased to announce that Paul Haworth has joined the Company as CFO, initially in a non-Board position.
Paul was, until recently, the EMEA Finance Director at Dialight plc ("Dialight"), the leading global industrial LED lighting specialist. There, he co-led the strategic outsourcing of Dialight's UK manufacturing operations and the conversion of their EMEA business to a sales and distribution model. Paul has also held senior financial roles with Consort Medical plc and LPA Group plc and before that he spent 9 years with Deloitte advising a range of listed and private technology and software clients. Paul is a chartered accountant and holds a degree in Astronomy from University College London.
Commenting on the appointment, Daniel Rabie, CEO, said
"I am pleased to announce Paul's appointment as CFO of the company. We are delighted to have someone of his experience and expertise join the GetBusy team. Employing great people is an important cultural value at GetBusy and I am confident that Paul will be a valuable asset as the company builds on its existing momentum and works toward achieving our growth objectives."
It is intended that Mr Haworth will join the Board following a satisfactory handover period with Chris Hagglund, the current non-board CFO and a further announcement will be made at that time.
