Tanfield Finance director resigns

Tim Robinson has resigned as finance director of the Tanfield Group, the company that recently acquired UpRight. Robinson has been replaced by Charles Brooks, 43, a chartered accountant who joined the Company a few months ago from Agility Systems Limited where he was Finance and Operations Director.

Brooks has until now been working on the acquisition and integration of the Upright business.

Roy Stanley, chief executive of Tanfield said:

'The Board would like to extend their thanks to Tim for his hard work and the
contribution he has made to the Company over the last few years, which have seen significant change of the Group, and wish him the very best for the future.

'We would also like to welcome Charles to Tanfield and look forward to his
contribution to the continued development of the Group in the years to come.'
