Directorate Change

Gooch & Housego PLC (AIM:GHH), the specialist manufacturer of optical components and systems, announces that, after five years as Chief Operating Officer, Alex Warnock has decided to step down from the role and the Board after the end of our current financial year.  

Alex has put in place a strong and experienced management team based around three manufacturing centres, which has been operating successfully in its current structure for the best part of two years. We currently do not intend to replace Alex and the three manufacturing heads will report directly into the CEO.   

Mark Webster, CEO of Gooch & Housego, commented:

"Alex has been an important part of G&H's success over the past five years and his hard work, commitment and considerable experience will be missed. He has transformed G&H's operations function, professionalising it and putting in place a modern, scalable structure with a capable and experienced management team.

"I would like to thank him personally for his support and advice. All of his friends and colleagues at the Company wish him well in his future endeavours."
