Chief Executive Officer Succession

Carr's, the Agriculture and Engineering group, announces that Tim Davies has decided to step down as Chief Executive Officer after seven years in the role.

The Board has already instigated a rigorous process to select a suitable successor for the role of CEO and to lead the Group in the coming years.  Tim will remain in post until a successor is appointed and for a handover period to ensure a smooth transition.

Further information on Tim's successor and the succession process will be provided in due course.

Peter Page, Chairman, said: "On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Tim for his enormous contribution over the last seven years. He has led the Group with passion and integrity, developing its international focus and a strong organisational culture.  I look forward to continuing to work closely with Tim during the succession phase."

Tim Davies, Chief Executive Officer, said: "It has been a privilege to serve as CEO of Carr's over the last seven years and I am proud of the achievements of my colleagues and the Group during that time. I firmly believe that now is the right time for a new CEO to lead the Group, building upon its strong position, and to develop its strategy into the future."
