I strongly endorse their philosophy of putting the customer at the heart of all operations. It will be an honour for me to become executive chairman and I look forward to being part of the team and continuing to grow the company.”

“I am delighted that Steve has accepted to take on the role as executive chairman,” stated Philip Aminoff. “Steve is extremely commercially orientated with significant international experience.
