Aggreko
announces new Chief Executive Officer
Posted: 10 June 2003
Aggreko plc has appointmented Rupert Soames as Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) with effect from 1 July 2003.
The appointment is the result of an extensive search for a new
CEO, following the tragic death in a car accident of the previous
incumbent, Philip Harrower, in December 2002.
Mr Soames, aged 44, was formerly with Misys plc, where he was most
recently CEO of the Banking and Securities Division.
Before joining Misys, Rupert was with GEC plc for 15 years, working
in a number of their subsidiaries; in the last 4 years of his service
with GEC he was responsible for the UK, African & Asian operations
of Avery Berkel.
Commenting on the appointment, Mr Philip Rogerson, Chairman said,
“We are delighted that Rupert Soames will be joining Aggreko
as our new CEO.
Mr Soames will bring to Aggreko a wealth of international business
experience gained from working for two leading international companies,
where he successfully managed businesses of a scale and global reach
similar to that of Aggreko.
His expertise in growing international markets and establishing
new ones, added to his experience working with employees and clients
across the globe, will be invaluable for Aggreko.”
