(Alliance News) - Building materials firm Breedon Group PLC on Tuesday said it has hired former Tyman PLC chief financial officer James Brotherton to be its own finance head.
Brotherton will join Breedon as CFO designate at the start of 2021. He was CFO of London-based windows and doors supplier Tyman PLC between 2010 and 2019, prior to which he was director of Corporate Development for five years.
As announced last month, Breedon's current finance director, Rob Wood, will succeed Pat Ward as chief executive upon Ward's retirement during 2021.
"It is anticipated that James will be appointed to the board as CFO at that point, ensuring an orderly transition," Breedon said.
Shares in Breedon were down 0.4% at 83.70 pence in London on Tuesday.
