The board of Cornelius Group has undergone a number of management changes to support its 2025 Vision for Growth.
Dr Neville Prior, group chairman, commented: “The board of Cornelius has been working on our long term vision and strategy and recognises the need to develop the structure of the company to deliver its next phase of growth.”
Long term board directors David Brown and Richard Herring remain with the group in new non executive director roles.
David is now responsible for developing the Cornelius sourcing and international business strategy working with Darren Spiby, managing director, who takes over responsibility for the overall UK and international business.
Richard Herring will remain in a consulting role for the human resources function.
“May I take this opportunity to thank David and Richard for their friendship, commitment and fantastic contributions they have made to the success of Cornelius over many years. I also look forward to seeing them continue to contribute to our growth in the years to come in their new roles. I also wish Darren every success in his extended role, which I believe will position Cornelius for a fantastic future in the many sectors we serve.”
In a separate move, Joanna Stephenson joins Cornelius, as non executive director, responsible for driving the marketing and strategic development of the group. Joanna is a former vice president of marketing of LINPAC Group and is managing director of PHD Marketing & Strategy.
