Abstract
Systems integration specialist Hima-Sella
In his new role, John will assume overall accountability for all matters relating to the business, with Eddy Turnock (Sales and Marketing Director), Nigel Banner (Engineering Director – Process Safety) and Paul Alliott (Engineering Director – Rail Systems) retaining their respective responsibilities.
Ian remains a full-time director of Hima-Sella and will be concentrating on his role as Executive Chairman of the board of directors, ensuring that the board is effective in its tasks of setting and implementing the company’s direction and strategy. He comments, After serving as Finance Director for the past seven years, John is ideally suited to take over the role of leading the business, now in its 40th year of trading, and to shape the future development of Hima-Sella. John’s wealth of experience as a proven financial leader coupled with his extensive management skills put him in an excellent position to fulfil this task.
Ian goes on to say that as Executive Chairman, he will have more time to focus on the development and future growth of the business and work ‘on the business’ as opposed to working ‘in the business’: We are well positioned for further growth and development and we are looking at a number of exciting projects such as the re-development of the Stockport facilities, new products and technologies and new business opportunities, all of which need to be managed and overseen to ensure their success. I look forward to working with our new board of directors and to the next 40 years of Hima- Sella Limited.
