express my heartfelt thanks to Stephen for his commitment and contribution to
the business and we wish him a well-earned and happy retirement."

Stephen Bentley, outgoing Chief Financial Officer, said:

 

"It is a privilege to have worked at Frenkel Topping and I leave behind a
business which is robust and delivering upon its strategic aims. The real
driving force of the business is its people, their integrity and the care they
provide their clients and I am very proud to have worked with such a fantastic
team.  The Company is strongly positioned with a bright future and I look
forward to see it go from strength to strength."
