Director Retirement
Gooch & Housego PLC, the specialist manufacturer of optical
components and systems, announces that Mr Terry Scribbins has
advised the Board of his intention to retire on 31 May 2014. He
will resign from the Board, and from his position as Chief
Operating Officer, with effect from that date.
The Company has been engaged in a succession planning process
for several months in preparation for the anticipated retirement of
Mr Scribbins later this year. The recruitment of his successor is
well advanced. For personal reasons Mr Scribbins has made the
decision to retire earlier than was planned. During the period
between Mr Scribbins retirement and the appointment of his
successor the functions of the Chief Operating Officer will be
covered by the other members of the executive team.
Gareth Jones, Chief Executive of Gooch & Housego commented:
-
"Terry Scribbins has been a valued colleague for many years. I
would like to thank him for the tremendous contribution that he has
made to Gooch & Housego since he was appointed to the Board
seven years ago. In his role as COO Terry has played an invaluable
role in supporting the growth of Gooch & Housego, which has
acquired six businesses and more than doubled in turnover during
that period. On behalf of everyone at Gooch & Housego I would
like to wish him a happy and healthy retirement."
