number of months.
Chairman, David Barrett, on behalf
of the SigmaRoc Board, added:
"We would like to thank Garth for
his dedication to the Group over the last eight years. Without his
tenacity, professionalism, rigour and Australian no nonsense
approach, this Group would not have been able to deliver what it
has to date. We will be sad to see Garth depart and wish him the
very best for the future.
"We also congratulate Jan, who
joined in May, on his upcoming appointment as CFO of the Group. Jan
was selected following a rigorous external search process involving
the Group's nominations Committee and its founders. Jan brings a
wealth of experience and above all the can-do attitude which this
Group so much appreciates in its key team members. We look forward
to continuing the journey with Jan."
