Significant events
- “The year also brought change at the leadership level. With sincere appreciation, the company bid farewell to Mr. John Beswick, who stepped down from the board to embrace a well-deserved retirement, though he continues to offer his expertise in an advisory capacity. At the same time, the appointment of Richard Marriott as Technical Director and his addition to the board was met with enthusiasm, reflecting the company's ongoing commitment to strong governance and technical excellence.”
