Ocean Harvest Technology Group Plc (AIM: OHT), a leading researcher and

After a carefully considered and in-depth recruitment process, OHT is pleased
to announce that it has appointed Christopher Scott as Chief Financial Officer
of the Company, to be effective from 15 January 2024. Chris is a Chartered
Certified Accountant and a CFA Charterholder. His appointment is an important
step in OHT's journey to deliver high growth and strong governance for our
shareholders.

 

He will join OHT from FrieslandCampina, a dairy co-operative and consumer food
manufacturer, where he is currently the Finance Director for UK & Ireland.
Prior to that he held various senior finance positions including at the
leading multinational Kimberly-Clark UK.

efficient completion of the Company's 2023 audit and full year financial
results.

 

Mark Williams, CEO of OHT, commented:

 

"We are delighted that Chris will be joining as CFO and Board Director in
January.  We look forward to benefiting from Chris's extensive financial
experience in manufacturing, sourcing and sales & marketing.  He also

high growth plan in an industry desperate for change and improvements."
