RNS Number : 0208H  Esken Limited  25 July 2023

 

25 July 2023

ESKEN LIMITED

(Esken, the Group or the Company)

 

Change of Director

 

Esken, the aviation and renewable energy group, announces that it has accepted
the resignation of Lewis Girdwood, Chief Financial Officer and Director,
Aviation, from his position with Esken with immediate effect.

 

In light of the Group's stated strategy, and progress being made, to dispose
of its major operating businesses and return value to shareholders, the
Company did not feel that it was appropriate to look to the external market to
replace Mr Girdwood. Nick Dilworth, Esken's Chief Operating Officer and
Director, Renewables, will take over Mr Girdwood's responsibilities as CFO,
supported by the Company's able finance function.

 

Mr Dilworth has been a member of the Board since 2018. He has previously
occupied a number of leadership roles and has a strong commercial background.
Before his leadership roles in industry, he qualified as a Chartered
Accountant with BDO LLP before joining Grant Thornton as a Corporate
Financier.

 

David Shearer, Executive Chairman of Esken, said "On behalf of the board I
would like to thank Lewis for all of his efforts over the last four years as
CFO. This period has been a very difficult one for the Group and he has played
a key role in ensuring that we navigated the many challenges that we have
faced. He leaves with our best wishes for the future".
