Board Update
Calnex Solutions plc (AIM: CLX), a leading provider of test and measurement solutions for the global telecommunications sector, announces that following nine years as Chair of the Board of Calnex, George Elliott has taken the decision to retire from his position on the Board of Directors and will not seek re-election at the Company’s 2022 AGM. The Company is pleased to confirm that current Non-Executive Director, Stephen Davidson, has been appointed as Chair Designate and will succeed George at the conclusion of the AGM on 17 August 2022.
Stephen Davidson joined the Board of Calnex in January 2022 and is an accomplished director of both public and private companies, with more than 20 years’ PLC-board experience. He has previously acted as Chair at AIM-traded companies Actual Experience plc, RBG Holdings plc and Jaywing plc and at JSE-listed Datatec plc.
George Elliott, Chair of Calnex, commented, “When I joined Tommy and the team in 2013 it was evident to me that the future for Calnex was an exciting one. It has been an honour to help guide the business through its subsequent growth and journey onto the public markets. I am confident there is a strong Board and management team in place and with its outstanding customer base, the ongoing transition of the telecoms industry to 5G and the growth in cloud computing, the future for Calnex is brighter than ever.”
Tommy Cook, CEO of Calnex, commented, “George has been a huge support to me over the past nine years and I and the whole Company thank him for his service and wish him all the very best. Our new Directors, Stephen and Margaret Rice-Jones who joined us in January, have quickly become valued colleagues and we have benefitted from their extensive experience and knowledge. I look forward to continuing to work with them both and the wider Board to drive Calnex forward.”
