Ibstock appoints group financial controller Simon Bedford as interim CFO

(Sharecast News) - Building products manufacturer Ibstock said on Thursday that it has appointed Simon Bedford as interim chief financial officer until the process to appoint a permanent successor to Chris McLeish has been concluded.

He is a Chartered Accountant and holds an MBA from Warwick Business School.

"We continue with the recruitment process and we will update the market as soon as a decision has been made," the company said.
