Board Changes
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. This follows the Company's announcement on 8
December 2016 that Mr. Hargave was taking an extended leave of
absence from his duties on the audit and remuneration committees in
order to recover from a medical condition. Unfortunately, Colin's
health has not improved to the extent that he is able to resume
these roles and, in agreement with the Company, has taken the
decision to leave the Company to fully focus on his recovery.
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 ("Parity"), 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 GBP105m 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."
