– UK, London – Best of the Best PLC (LSE: BOTB), the principally online organiser of weekly competitions to win luxury cars, announces the following changes to the Company’s Board of Directors.
The Company regrets to announce that Colin Hargrave, Non-Executive Director of the Company, has decided to step down from the Board of BOTB after a period of ill-health with effect from 1 January 2018. Colin joined the Board of BOTB in 2008 and his wealth of retail sector experience has proved highly valuable to the growth that the Company has seen since that time and he will be much missed. Since the announcement of Colin’s ill health last year, David Clifford has stood in to cover the committee roles on an interim basis in a non-Board capacity.
Following a search for a permanent replacement for Colin, the Board is today pleased to announce that David Firth has agreed to join the Board as new Non-Executive Director and will commence his role on 1 January 2018.
David currently serves as a Non-Executive Director of Parity Group Plc, where he holds the role of Chairman of the Remuneration and Audit Committees. He was previously a member of the finance team at Parity for the period 1993 to 1999 and served as its Group Finance Director from 1995. Most notably, David served as Finance Director of AIM-listed Penna Consulting Plc (“Penna”) for over 16 years until Penna was acquired by Adecco Group AG in May 2016 for £105m and he brings a wealth of experience of high growth, public companies and markets. Prior to this role, David held senior finance positions in public companies across a number of sectors including financial markets, recruitment, IT services, motor retailing and advertising, including at European Motor Holdings Plc, a quoted motor retail and services group operating across the UK.
Commenting on the Board changes, CEO William Hindmarch, stated: “On behalf of the Board I would like to take this opportunity to express our deep gratitude to Colin for his invaluable contribution to the Company over many years and our very best wishes for his ongoing recovery. I would also like to thank David Clifford for covering Colin’s duties for the last year to great effect.
We are delighted to welcome David to the BOTB Board. David’s broad public markets experience, both in executive and non-executive capacities will prove highly beneficial to the Board going forward and we look forward to working together.”
