years.  Les led the Group's Production Facilities business through a successful
period of growth and internationalisation and has championed year on year
improvement in the Group's safety culture and performance.  Mark leaves our
Wood Group GTS business in a much stronger position and well placed to benefit
from the strong long term outlook for gas fired power generation.  They depart
with our best wishes."
