Directorate change at The Telecommunications Group plc
The Telecommunications Group plc ("TTG") the AIM quoted provider of fixed and
mobile, voice and internet telecommunications solutions, today announces the
following board and company changes.
Martin Eberhardt has decided to step down as Group Finance Director to pursue
other interests. The board has accepted his resignation with immediate effect,
although he has undertaken in the short term to act in a consultancy capacity to
TTG as and when necessary.
TTG are, therefore, pleased to announce the appointment of Julian Synett as
Group Finance Director with effect from 1st February 2004.
Julian, aged 53, has held a number of senior financial positions including, most
recently, Chief Operating Officer of Numerica Group Plc, a role he held for two
years. Previously he was Managing Partner at Levy Gee for eight years, the core
firm within the Numerica Group, and Managing Partner at Berke Fine.
Michael Hanna, the Chief Executive Officer of The Telecommunications Group plc,
commented on today's announcements:
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Martin Eberhardt for all his
efforts during the completion of the transaction that brought The
Telecommunications Group to market last year. We wish him well for the future.
We are delighted to be able to announce Julian Synett as Martin's replacement
today. I have known Julian in a professional capacity at Numerica Group Plc and
Levy Gee for more than ten years and he brings with him a wealth of corporate
finance knowledge coupled with specific board experience. That, combined with
his background in completing a number of transactions in the telecommunications
arena, makes him an ideal addition to our board."
In addition TTG announces the appointment of KBC Peel Hunt as its Nominated
Advisor, a position they take up alongside their current role as Brokers.
