"On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to welcome Gillian to Carr's.  Gillian's  wealth of executive and non-executive experience will be hugely beneficial to the Board as we continue to develop the Speciality Agriculture division and optimise the potential of the Engineering division. There is much to be done and I very much look forward to working with Gillian.

"I would also like to thank John for his commitment and support to the business over the years.  He has made a very significant contribution to the Board and the Company and he leaves us with our sincerest gratitude and appreciation."
