Board Changes and Proposed Change of Name
cheerful scout plc, the AIM-traded multi-media specialist, has
restructured its Board with immediate effect to support the
Company's next stage of growth as it leverages its creative
expertise in the corporate communications arena.
Following the restructuring, Gary Fitzpatrick, previously
Managing Director of cheerful, has become CEO, replacing Peter
Litten, who now holds a dual role as Deputy Chairman and Creative
Director. Mr. Litten's combined position emphasises the pivotal
role the Board places on providing an innovative and creative
product to its clients.
Additionally, Stephen Garbutta has joined the Board as
Non-executive Director. Stephen has been a partner for 30 years
with Harris and Trotter LLP, a leading firm of Chartered
Accountants, and heads its Corporate Finance and Mergers and
Acquisition department. Non-executive Director Neville Newman has
stepped down from the Board.
cheerful has also decided, subject to shareholder approval, to
change the holding company name to Aeorema Communications Group
Plc. This will allow the Company to add additional disciplines and
companies to complement its existing operations, cheerful scout and
twentyfirst. A further announcement will be made in due course.
Mike Hale, Chairman, commented, "I am confident that this
restructuring exercise will strengthen the Board significantly and,
combined with our proposed name change, we are now well positioned
to increase our footprint in the corporate communications arena.
Gary has 17 years of experience in this area and has been key in
helping the Company maintain sales and a strong balance sheet.
Importantly, he was critical in organising the very successful
acquisition of events company Twentyfirst last year which has given
the Company a strong presence in this lucrative industry as well as
a range of blue chip clients.
"As Peter's dual role demonstrates, maintaining our reputation
as an innovative communication specialist is a top priority. The
quality of work already achieved this year by our creative events
and video production units, led by highly experienced long-term
team members, is testament to this and we believe that a number of
outstanding corporate videos produced have an excellent chance of
winning major industry awards. I would also like to take this
opportunity to thank Neville Newman for his support and work during
his time at the Company and we wish him all the best in his future
pursuits."
