John Wood Group has appointed Iain Torrens as interim CFO and an executive director on the company’s board with immediate effect, the engineering consultancy said February 27. The company is continuing to seek a permanent CFO following the resignation of the Group’s CFO, it said.
Mr Torrens has over 30 years’ experience in senior financial roles at companies such as TalkTalk Group, brokerage ICAP and, until last October, Praxis Group.
CEO Ken Gilmartin said: “The Board and I acted quickly to appoint an interim CFO. This is a critical period for Wood and Iain is a seasoned CFO with the necessary capital markets experience and proven leadership in refinancing and financial reporting, as well as risk management, audit and compliance. I look forward to working closely with Iain in this next phase to ensure a strong and sustainable future for Wood. The search to identify a permanent CFO for the Group will continue.”
