"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Tom for his guidance and the very important contribution he has made to United since he joined. Tom's commitment and wealth of experience has been invaluable during United's transition into a producing company. Tom will be missed and we are sad that he will not be part of the next phase of growth of the business. However, we fully understand and support his decision to take up this executive role with Kenmare and on behalf of the Board I would like to congratulate Tom on his new role and wish him every success."
