Retirement of D.G. Crayford

Managing Director, and appointment

of Mrs Felicity Fawks.

Mr D.G. Crayford will retire on 20 December 20— and be replaced as Managing Director by Mrs Felicity Fawks whose appointment begins as from 2 January 20—.

Mr Crayford has been with the company for 30 years, and has been Managing Director since 1985. The Board, his colleagues, business associates, and staff, I am sure would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his excellent work in organizing and running the company to make it the successful concern it is today. His good-humoured presence will be missed by all those who worked with him, and we offer our best wishes to his successor.

Mr Crayford's leaving will not affect the present policy of the company.

Would all Department Managers please attend a meeting in room 358 on Monday 3 December at 15.30 hours, where they will be introduced to Mrs Fawks?
