Re Directorate
Following the announcement made yesterday regarding the tragic death of the
Chairman and Chief Executive, Steven Cunningham, the Board announces the
following board changes with immediate effect.
Brian Hendon, who was non-executive director now becomes interim Company
Chairman. Mr Hendon, a chartered accountant, has extensive corporate experience
of trading with UK retailers and within the fast moving goods sector.
Amanda Thorneycroft, who joined Centurion in January 2002, will continue as
Finance Director and assume the role of Managing Director.
The Board also announces the appointment of Mr John Bell as Operations Director.
Mr Bell joined the Company in April 2003 from one of the UK's leading automotive
accessory retailers where he was Director of Business Development. Prior to
this, he had headed up the in-car entertainment division of that company. Since
joining Centurion, Mr Bell has directed operations with overall responsibility
for purchasing and logistics.
Under the guidance of Steven Cunningham, the Board had strengthened
significantly its executive management team in recent months in particular, in
the areas of operations, marketing and sales. The Board believes that the
Company is well-positioned to continue to build on the success of its products
with both major motor manufacturers and retail customers.
There are no details required to be disclosed pursuant to schedule two,
paragraph (f) (i) to (viii) of the AIM Rules.
