eServGlobal Announces Board Changes
Sydney, 22 July 2009
eServGlobal announces changes to the makeup and structure of the board.
eServGlobal Limited (LSE: ESG & ASX: ESV), a provider of end-to-end solutions, enabling smart communication, charging and payment services, today announces changes to the makeup and structure of the board.
The board has considered its role both in regard to both meeting it’s statutory obligations and to achieving the oversight of the business at an appropriate cost. It was agreed that, whilst the existing board has made a strong contribution, a smaller board is more appropriate to the scale of the business and would continue to be effective.
Mr David Smart has been appointed as Non-executive Chairman.
Mr Ian Buddery continues as a Non-executive director.
Mr Richard Mathews has been appointed as an Executive director. He is also the company’s Chief Executive Officer.
Mr Laurent Lafarge has resigned from the board.
In full agreement with the necessary board restructure Mr Jim Pratt and Mr Graham Libbeson have volunteered to step down. The company wishes to thank these gentlemen for their many years of service, during a time in which business operations have doubled in size and revenue increased three fold.
Mr Ian Buddery, who served as Executive Chairman since 2003 said, "We believe that eServGlobal is entering a new stage of development and growth and, with the benefit of the recently appointed senior executive team, it is appropriate to have an independent Chairman, leading a smaller board. We are confident that the new board team will achieve our business objectives and growth in shareholder value."
