I have known Robert for many years and look forward to working together to grow and develop Nakama. Over the past year, Andrea Williams and the management team have made much needed changes to the business, streamlining the operating businesses and improving financial controls. After a challenging period, we now look forward to implementing a strategy that delivers top line growth with acceptable profit margins. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Andrea for her contribution and look forward to continuing to work with her in her capacity as a Non-Executive Director."

 

Robert Thesiger said: "I am pleased to join the Board of Nakama as Chief Executive. This is a business that is well positioned for growth but has previously struggled to compete in challenging market conditions.
