"On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Rupert for the excellent job he did in leading Geronimo during its integration into Young’s. We are also grateful for his contribution as a non-executive director following his stepping down as an executive director in the early part of 2013. As regards David, we would like to express our gratitude for the insight, guidance and good humour that he has provided over many years on the Board. We wish them both well."
