AGM Statement, Director Retirement, Appointment of New CEO and
Notice of Results
Empresaria, the international specialist staffing group, will
hold its Annual General Meeting today at 1.00pm. At the meeting the
Chairman, Tony Martin, will make the following statement:
"Joost Kreulen, who is one of the directors retiring by rotation
at the AGM, has advised the Board of his decision not to seek
re-election. He therefore retires from his position as Chief
Executive Officer. Consequently, the proposed resolution 4 set out
in the Notice of Annual General Meeting has been withdrawn.
Spencer Wreford has been appointed the Chief Executive Officer
of the Group. Spencer joined the Board in 2010, initially as Group
Finance Director, before taking the role of Chief Operating Officer
in 2017. With his experience and understanding of the Group's
operations and culture, Spencer is uniquely positioned to take over
as Chief Executive Officer. He has worked closely with Joost for
the last eight years and as such we expect a smooth transition into
the new role.
Joost will continue to be involved with the Group as a part-time
consultant, with a specific focus on the Group's operations in
Germany and Austria. With this ongoing support, the appointment of
Tim Anderson as Group Finance Director and other hires made in the
head office team, there is no current intention to replace the
Chief Operating Officer role.
The Board would like to thank Joost for his contribution to the
success of the Group. He has been instrumental in the delivery of
record adjusted profit before tax for each of the last three
financial years, as well as building and strengthening the multi
branded group. He leaves his current role with the Group in a
strong financial position, ready for the next phase of
development."
Joost Kreulen said:
"After nine years with Empresaria, six as Chief Executive
Officer, now is the time for me to reduce my travel commitments to
spend my working time closer to home. I have worked closely with
Spencer for over eight years and I am confident that he will
continue to develop and grow the Group in the coming years."
"The Group remains on course to meet market expectations for the
full year. A trading update will be published on 25 July 2018 and
interim results for the six months ending 30 June 2018 will be
published on 22 August 2018."
