Stadium Group Plc
("Stadium" or the "Company")
Management Restructure and Directorate Change
Stadium Group Plc (AIM: SDM), a leading electronic technologies group, announces that Tony Inskip, Group Commercial Director, will step down from the board with immediate effect. Tony joined Stadium in November 2008 and the Board in 2009. The newly appointed Managing Directors of the Group's integrated Electronic Manufacturing Services (iEMS), Ian Davies (UK iEMS) and Sohan Singh (Stadium Asia), are now responsible for driving sales and for overseeing the commercial activities of the Company's iEMS business.
In conjunction with the appointments of Ian and Sohan, the commercial activities of the iEMS business have been realigned to support the Group's growth plans to provide a more technical driven sales structure, and better meet the changing needs of our customers. The management structure in the Power Supply and Interface and Displays businesses remains unchanged.
Mr Davies joined Stadium in July 2011 as UK iEMS Business Unit Director, with 30 years' experience in electronic manufacturing service companies, including 10 years with Celestica, a Tier 1 global EMS. He has an impressive background of operational excellence and business transformation, which has already been demonstrated during his time at Stadium.
Mr Singh spent 30 years with Motorola, most recently as Senior Director Global Strategic Sourcing and Quality, prior to joining Stadium earlier this year and brings a wealth of experience in the electronics manufacturing sector. He is responsible for driving the next phase of transformation and growth in our Asia business.
Stadium is committed to providing value added services and products both in iEMS and through its technology led businesses: Interface and Displays and Power Products. Increasingly the Company is providing an integrated solution for customers, offering electronics assembly, custom power supplies and intelligent interface solutions. Re-organising the commercial activities in line with these growth initiatives as set out above will enable Stadium to provide an improved end-to-end solution to customers.
Charlie Peppiatt, Chief Executive Officer, said: "Shareholders will be aware that our iEMS business has faced a number of challenges over the last 12 months and the Board has undertaken a number of changes to ensure that the business is positioned to deliver an improved operating performance. The realignment of our commercial activities will help deliver this improved performance and trading for the year is in line with management expectations."
