Simon Nicholls to take position as CFO of Wolseley plc
Simon Nicholls, who currently serves as Cobham's Chief Financial Officer, will be leaving the company to take up the role of Chief Financial Officer of Wolseley plc.
Simon will remain in his current role until his successor has been identified to ensure a smooth transition. It is anticipated that he will leave the company towards the end of 2016. The search to replace him is underway and a further announcement will be made once this process has been completed.
Bob Murphy, Chief Executive Officer of Cobham, said:
"This move places Simon amongst the top 40 FTSE plc financial leaders and offers an exciting opportunity for him to further his career. We thank Simon for the leadership contribution he has made at Cobham over the past three years and although we'll miss him, we are also very pleased, wishing him every success in his new role."
