Weir announces Minerals President succession
-- Ricardo Garib to retire as Minerals President at end of 2022
after a distinguished 43 year career
-- Andrew Neilson appointed Minerals President after successful leadership period at ESCO
The Weir Group PLC announces that after 43 years' service,
Ricardo Garib will retire as President of Weir Minerals with effect
from 31 December 2022. He will be succeeded by Andrew Neilson, who
is currently President of Weir ESCO. Details of Andrew's successor
will be announced in due course.
Ricardo has made an enormous contribution to Minerals and Weir.
Since his appointment as President of Minerals in 2016, he has led
the division from strength to strength. Andrew became President of
ESCO in early 2020 and has successfully delivered the acquisition
synergies, built the growth strategy and improved ESCO's safety and
operational performance.
A process to identify a successor to Andrew as ESCO President is
well advanced and we expect to announce further details in due
course.
Ricardo and Andrew, together with Andrew's successor, will work
together in a transition period over the fourth quarter.
Commenting on these management changes, Jon Stanton, CEO
said:
"I'd like to pay tribute to Ricardo Garib for his outstanding
contribution to our company and the mining industry over many
years. His absolute focus on safety and unwavering dedication to
serving our customers has been second to none. On behalf everyone
at Weir, I'd like to thank Ricardo for all he has done and wish him
a very happy retirement."
"I am delighted that Andrew Neilson will succeed Ricardo. Andrew
knows Minerals inside out and has a wealth of experience from
across our business. With his strong track record of execution and
delivery, I am sure he will lead Minerals to new heights and I look
forward to working with him in his new role."
