The Company would like to extend its sincere thanks to John for his hard work and tireless dedication to Bluefield Solar for the last twelve years.  His input has been invaluable, and the Company wishes him well in his retirement.

 

Michael Gibbons, Chair of Bluefield Solar, said: "As a founder Director of Bluefield Solar from 2013, John has successfully guided the Company since its formation, and for the last three years, has been our Chairman. His significant experience in the sector, commitment to the Company and sound judgement has played a major part in the success of Bluefield Solar over the last twelve years.  We would like to thank John for his dedication and service as well as for the contribution he has made in delivering value to our shareholders."

We are pleased that Michael Gibbons has taken over the Chair role last month and we look forward to working with him closely as the Company progresses through the current strategic view and Formal Sales Process."
