Spiby will build on his success as Managing Director, a role that will cease to exist, in his new position as CEO. He will continue to report to the previous CEO, Dr Neville Prior, who remains as with the firm as Chairman.
Dr Prior said: 'I’m delighted to announce Darren’s appointment to CEO. His knowledge of the business will be instrumental in maintaining optimum operational efficiency as we continue on our high growth journey.'
