Havelock Europa PLC
05 May 2015
 

 

HAVELOCK EUROPA PLC

("Havelock" or the "Company")

 

David Ritchie appointed Chief Executive Officer of Havelock Europa

 

The Board of Directors of Havelock Europa (HVE.L), the international interior solutions provider, is pleased to announce the appointment of David Ritchie as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with immediate effect.

 

Mr Ritchie (aged 43) joined the Company in 2013 as Group Commercial Manager and in April 2015 he was appointed to the Board of Havelock as Chief Operating Officer. Prior to joining Havelock, he worked for Balfour Beatty plc (1998 - 2013) and Wimpey PLC (1989-1998). Mr Ritchie is a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors and has an MBA in Business Administration from University of Strathclyde, Graduate Business School.

 

The Company is also pleased to announce that the move to its new Head Office in Kirkcaldy has been completed as scheduled. The Company expects to benefit from the operational efficiencies of a modern office building and from the reduced distance between its offices and its main manufacturing site.

 

David MacLellan, Chairman of Havelock Europa, said:

 

"I am delighted to announce the appointment of David Ritchie as Havelock Europa's new CEO. The process leading up to his appointment has been rigorous and comprehensive, including both internal and external candidates as a result of which the Board is unanimous that David is the right person to take Havelock forward.

 

This appointment comes at the same time that Havelock Europa moves to its new head office which has been designed and fitted out by its own team and which provides the best advertisement for Havelock Europa's capabilities in the fit out market."

David Ritchie, CEO, said:

 

"I am excited to have the opportunity to lead Havelock and build on the foundations that have been put in place. We have a highly experienced management team and I look forward to working with them to grow the business."

 

Mr Ritchie does not and has not in the last five years been a director of a company nor a partner in a business. There are no other disclosures required under Schedule Two (g) of the AIM Rules.
