Board Changes and Board Appointment
Synergy (SYR.L), a leading provider of specialist outsourced support services to health related markets provides and update to the proposed board changes announced previously.
On 25th July, 2013, it was announced that Dr Richard Steeves, Group CEO would succeed Sir Duncan Nichol as Non-Executive Chairman of the Group upon his retirement on 31st March 2014 and that Dr Adrian Coward would take over from Richard as Group CEO. Because of the expanding opportunity for the growth in outsourced hospital sterilisation services in the USA, the Board has decided that Dr Steeves should defer his move from CEO to Chairman and Sir Duncan will similarly delay his retirement. Dr Adrian Coward, currently regional CEO for the UK & Ireland will now take on a broader role as COO for the Group as a whole, and joins the Board with immediate effect.
There are no further details requiring disclosure under Listing Rule 9.6.13 of the UK Listing Authority Listing Rules regarding the appointment of Dr Adrian Coward.
In line with their normal practice, Synergy will announce their pre-close trading update in the week commencing 14 April 2014.
