Board Changes
The Board of Trackwise Designs plc (AIM: TWD), a leading
manufacturer of specialist products using printed circuit
technology, is pleased to confirm, following the General Meeting to
approve the Fundraising, held on Friday 6 January 2023, the
appointment of Andrew Lapping and Chris Pennison to the Board of
the Company, as Non-Executive Chairman and Non-Executive Director
respectively, with effect from 8:00 a.m. on 9 January 2023.
As announced on 14 December 2022, and included in the Circular
to Shareholders dated 15 December 2022, in order to maintain Board
numbers and also to control the cost base, Susan McErlain and Ian
Griffiths will step down from the Board at the same time. Charles
Cattaneo intends to step down from the Board at the end of January
2023. Given the forthcoming departure of Charles Cattaneo, the
Company is commencing a recruitment process for an additional new
non-executive director.
Andrew Lapping, incoming Chairman of Trackwise, commented:
"Today marks a fresh start for the Group after a very tough
recent period.
I am delighted to take on the challenge of helping to lead
Trackwise with my former Hyperdrive CEO Chris Pennison as we join
the Trackwise Board. We bring industry experience to the Group with
a track record of transitioning smart technology into a
commercially viable and successful product.
Prior to our participation in the Fundraising, Chris and I
undertook significant referencing of the sales pipeline and the
core technology. As a result, we believe there is significant
potential for Trackwise and its IHT technology in the EV
market.
Whilst I recognise that the Fundraising has been difficult for
existing shareholders, I would urge all to get behind us as we look
to exploit the Company's world-class IP and production
facilities.
I want to close by reassuring all stakeholders that Trackwise
has enormous potential but to realise its true value, we have to
think and act smart in a very dynamic and rapidly expanding
market."
