– UK, London – Be Heard Group plc, (AIM: BHRD), the digital marketing group, announces two Board changes with immediate effect. David J. Poutney joins the Board after a long and distinguished career in the City and Rodger Sargent, a founding director of Mithril Capital plc, is stepping down from the Board.
David, 63, served as Head of Corporate Broking at Numis Securities Limited and Numis Corporation Plc, where he was an Executive Director from 20 May 2014 until he stood down from the Board on 2 February 2016. He started his career in commercial banking with Midland Bank before becoming a number one ranked financials analyst at a number of leading firms including BZW, James Capel and UBS. In his 20 years as a corporate broker, he worked directly on the listings of over 30 companies; advised many companies throughout extended periods of growth, including Domino’s Pizza Group plc and Alliance Pharma plc; and advised Be Heard at the time of its reverse into Mithril Capital plc in November 2015.
Commenting, Peter Scott, Executive Chairman of Be Heard said: “Today’s changes mark a further step in our evolution as a public company. We are grateful to Rodger, whose experience has proven invaluable to Be Heard in its early days on AIM. We wish him every success with his various ventures.
“We are delighted to be the first company to welcome David as a non-executive director. His many years of experience in the financial markets, particularly in helping smaller companies work with the markets to grow, will be highly relevant to our strategy of bringing together best in class digital marketing agencies to be a force in our industry.”
