The Sepura Group has appointed Alan Lovell as its new chairman, alongside David Barrass as interim executive officer.
Lovell’s brings a variety of experience to the role, including time working at executive level for companies such as Jarvis plc, Dunlop Slazenger Group and Costain Group PLC.
Barrass meanwhile has held a number of chief executive roles at Baird Capital, ArmorGroup International PLC, the Royal Mint and others.
Speaking of the appointments, non-executive director Nigel Smith said: “I am delighted that both Alan and David are joining the business. They bring extensive experience and expertise to build on our excellent products and premier technologies.
“Their leadership will be invaluable to the board and senior management team as we continue to focus on converting our strong pipeline of sales opportunities, reducing costs and improving cash generation.”
Lovell succeeds Russell King, who in August announced his intention to step down as soon as a replacement was found. Barrass' appointment reflects the extended period of absence being taken by Gordon Watling following medical advice.
