Directorate change

Getech Group plc (AIM: GTC), a leading provider of subsurface data and risk-management services to the energy and natural resources industries, announces that Dr Paul Carey has advised the Board of his intention to leave the Group. Paul will step down from the board on 31 December 2016.

Succeeding Paul as the Sales and Marketing Director will be Jules Cullen. Jules is currently Getech's Marketing Director and also heads up sales for products and services produced under the Group's ERCL and Exprodat brands.

Jonathan Copus, Getech CEO commented:

"Paul has been a valued member of the Board, and I would like to thank him for all he has done for the Getech Group. On his departure, Paul will not be replaced on the Board. Across five years of service, Paul has worked to reposition Getech's sales and marketing activities around an expanding suite of products and services. I and the Board wish Paul every success in his future endeavours.

I am pleased to be welcoming Jules Cullen to Getech's Senior Management Team. Jules joined the Group through the recent acquisition of Exprodat and brings with her 25 years of product-focused sales and marketing experience in the petroleum industry. In her 10 years at Exprodat Jules established a global client base for its software products and technical services and expanded the company's commercial reach into new markets within the natural resources sector, including the nuclear industry and agriculture."
