Joe Purcell, Group Chief Executive, said: "I would like to congratulate Tom on
his appointment, and I look forward to working more closely with him as I
believe it will strengthen our management team and help to improve our focus
on the day-to-day running of the business. This appointment will also ensure
that the management of the Group is better resourced to capitalise on the
exciting opportunities that we are developing through our ambitious product
development programs."

and look forward to working closely with the wider Mincon group in
