Metir plc (AIM: MET), the leading global provider of fast response mobile and
point-of-use water and environmental testing technology, is pleased to
announce the appointment of Claire Smith as Chief Financial Officer with
immediate effect, alongside key hires to grow its business development
function.  All appointments are non-Board at this time.

 

Claire brings over 25 years of financial and operational experience. Most
recently, she served as Chief Executive Officer and previously as Chief
Financial Officer and Company Secretary of Zytronic plc, an AIM-listed
manufacturer of touch sensor products. During her tenure, she led finance, HR
and IT functions. Before her role at Zytronic, Claire held finance positions
with the NAAFI and Procter & Gamble, working both in the UK and Germany.

 

Claire holds a B.A. (Hons) degree in Business and Finance from Northumbria

To accelerate growth and capitalise on new opportunities in the UK and
internationally, Metir has also established a dedicated business development
function, comprising a new Business Development Manager and Technical Support
Specialist. This new team will focus on driving sales of Metir's LX, FX and
Continuous Toxicity Monitoring ("CTM") product lines and expanding the Group's
international distributor network, with a target to more than double its
distributor base within the next 12 months. Strengthened technical support
will also enable improved customer engagement, increased instrument
utilisation and reagent consumption, thereby driving higher recurring revenue.

 

Bob Moore, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Metir, commented:

 

"We are delighted to welcome Claire to Metir. Her extensive financial and
operational expertise will  strengthen the Group's management, control and
reporting, as we develop and execute our growth strategy.

 

The creation of a new business development function marks an important step in
enhancing our commercial reach, expanding internationally, building a global
brand and delivering long-term shareholder value."
