Greencore Group plc ('Greencore') Announces the Appointment of new Chief
Financial Officer
The Board of Directors of Greencore, the leading food group, today (Tuesday,
15th January 2008) announces the appointment of Geoff Doherty as Chief Financial
Officer of the Group and Chief Executive of its Property and Agribusiness
activities. Mr Doherty's appointment will be with effect from February 15th. He
succeeds Patrick Coveney who assumed the position of Group Chief Executive
Designate in December, 2007.
Geoff Doherty (aged 36), a Chartered Accountant (FCA), joined Greencore in 2001
as Group Financial Controller and played a key role in integrating the Greencore
and Hazlewood businesses. In doing so, he drove a highly disciplined approach to
financial and reporting systems, working capital management and cash flow
generation. He was appointed Group Development Director in 2005, joining the
Board in July of that year. He had responsibility for planning and executing the
expansion of the food business as well as Board responsibility for developing
the potential of the Group's property portfolio. He will continue to have
responsibility for the property agenda in his new role.
'I am absolutely delighted that Geoff will be the new CFO of Greencore and that
he will also continue to lead our property agenda,' said Patrick Coveney. 'Geoff
is already a key leader in our business and has played a central role in shaping
the business and culture that we have to-day. He brings highly relevant
experience, insight, passion and tremendous energy to the new role. In this
context a seamless transfer of responsibilities will be easy to achieve.'
