I look forward to assuming my new responsibilities as Chairman of the Board and I intend to ensure that we continue to deliver on our responsible and conservative strategy emphasised on market share growth, value-added product lines, and cost control and right-sizing of inventories in what we expect to be an unprecedented year of challenges and obstacles. On behalf of the Board, the Management team and all its employees, I would like to thank Claude for his guidance, expertise, commitment, and support over the past eight years,” said Douglas Goodfellow.
