Board Changes
Quadnetics Group plc, a leader in the design, integration and control of
advanced CCTV and networked video surveillance systems, announces that it has
appointed two additional executive directors to its Board: David Orme becomes
Group Operations Director, and Glenn Robinson becomes Group Technical & Business
Development Director.
Prior to joining the Company Mr David Orme was Chief Operating Officer of Bell
Group plc, a successful quoted electronic security systems supplier. Mr Orme
has wide experience and an excellent track record of achievement in the security
systems industry, and the Board is delighted he has agreed to join Quadnetics.
Glenn Robinson joined Quadnetics in 1997 and has most recently been responsible
for successful development and delivery of the Company's large-scale digital
security systems in the UK and Canada. In his new role, his primary focus will
be to help achieve rapid growth of Synectics' digital security systems business
in the United States, working with the local management of recently acquired
Synectics, Inc.
In addition, the Company's Chairman, Peter Rae, has requested to stand down as
Chairman, due to the increasing pressure of other business commitments. Mr Rae
has agreed to remain as senior independent non-executive director for a period
of up to a year. David Coghlan, Deputy Chairman, has been appointed Chairman,
effective from 4th August.
Following the announcement dated 22 April 2005, and the end of the Company's
financial year, the Board's expectations remain that consolidated profit before
tax and goodwill amortisation for the year ended 31 May 2005 will be not less
than £2.6 million. As previously predicted, sales achieved by the Company's
digital security systems subsidiary, Synectics, were more than double those of
the previous year, at margins ahead of budgeted expectations.
Russ Singleton, Chief Executive, commented:
'I am delighted to welcome David Orme and Glenn Robinson to the Board. This
strengthening of the Group-level executive team will significantly expand the
Company's capacity to achieve the growth objectives we have set ourselves. In
particular, it will increase our scope for capitalising on the market
opportunities we are now seeing for major digital security systems in the UK and
North America.'
