Rosebank Industries plc
("Rosebank" or the "Company")
Proposed Appointment of Chief Operating Officer
Rosebank announces that Liam Butterworth has agreed to join the Company as Chief Operating Officer and executive Director of the Board.
Liam is currently serving as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of Dowlais Group plc ("Dowlais"). His appointment will take place following completion of the combination of Dowlais and American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. and him ceasing to serve as a director and employee of Dowlais. We are hopeful that Liam will be able to take up his appointment by mid-February.
Liam brings extensive global operational and leadership experience gained across large, global engineering and industrial groups. Liam has a proven track record of delivering operational and commercial excellence, having most recently served as CEO of Dowlais Group plc and, prior to that, as CEO of GKN Automotive until its demerger from Melrose Industries PLC in 2023. Earlier roles include CEO of FCI Automotive, where he led the sale of the business to Delphi Automotive plc which he then joined as Senior Vice President and president of the Powertrain Division, and group CEO of Delphi Technologies plc, where he led its demerger from Aptiv plc (formerly Delphi Automotive) and admission to the New York Stock Exchange.
The Company will provide an update once Liam's start date has been confirmed.
Justin Dowley, Non-executive Chairman of Rosebank said: "We are very pleased that Liam will join the Board as Chief Operating Officer. He brings deep operational and leadership experience from complex, global industrial businesses which will be invaluable as Rosebank continues to execute its strategy."
Liam Butterworth, incoming Chief Operating Officer said: "I am excited at the prospect of joining the Rosebank team as Chief Operating Officer. Rosebank has a clear and compelling strategy, and I look forward to partnering with the Board and management to deliver on the Company's exciting potential."
