Intertek Group plc (LON:ITRK) has announced the appointment of Colm Deasy as Group Chief Financial Officer and as an Executive Board Director of the Group replacing Jonathan Timmis who has stepped down from the Company with immediate effect. In addition, the Company is establishing a new Group Executive Committee effective as of today’s date.
Intertek has a track record of attracting, developing and retaining the best talents in our industry.

“We truly believe that growing our people is central to our growth agenda. We are confident that our diverse Group Executive committee is the right team to lead Intertek to greater heights capitalising on the demand acceleration we are seeing for our ATIC solutions. My colleagues and I look forward to sharing our Intertek 2030 growth strategy at our Capital Markets Day on 3 and 4 May in London.
I would like to thank Jonathan for his contribution to the Company and wish him all the best for the future. I would also like to welcome and congratulate all the Group Executive Committee members on their appointments.”
