“Hermien’s expertise and depth of knowledge as a CFO will be an invaluable asset to us going forward,” Croom-Johnson said.

Croom-Johnson continued: “Graeme brings with him a considerable track record in risk and compliance, which I have no doubt will help us to deliver against our business development goals.”
