For Immediate Release
21 July 2016
General Industries plc
("General Industries" or the "Company")
Result of Annual General Meeting ("AGM")
General Industries plc, a company formed to acquire and operate growing businesses in the services sector, announces that all resolutions, with the exception of number 6 as mentioned below, were duly passed. The resolutions included approval of a change of name of the company to Aquila Services Group plc. Resolution 6, which related to the re-election of Richard Murphy as a director was not tabled at the meeting as Mr Murphy and the board felt that the group's interests were best served by Richard concentrating all his efforts on growing the business of Murja Limited, the wholly owned subsidiary of General Industries of which he remains a Director.
The approval of the change of name, which is the first step in a rebranding of the group, and part of a marketing strategy designed to increase both the client base and acquisition prospects, will take effect on receipt of the change of name certificate from Companies House. It is also expected that the Company's TIDM will change to "AQSG".
A further announcement will be made upon the change of name and TIDM becoming effective.
