LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Redcentric announced the appointment of Brian Woodford to its board on Monday, effective 3 February, with plans for him to assume the role of chief executive officer following a two-month transition period.

The AIM-traded firm said Woodford would take over from Peter Brotherton, who was stepping down as CEO but would remain with the company in a strategic advisory role until 30 June to ensure a smooth handover.

Its board said Woodford would bring extensive industry experience, having held senior positions at Capita, Tata Communications, Vodafone, and Cable & Wireless.

"The business is now in a very different place to when I joined in November 2016 with solid foundations now in place for sustainable and profitable growth," said outgoing CEO Peter Brotherton.

"It has been a privilege to work with so many talented professionals during my eight years at Redcentric and I am tremendously proud of what we achieved and delivered for our clients."

His successor Brian Woodford added that he was "impressed" by the "tremendous achievements" the company had made under Brotherton's leadership.

"Building on this strong foundation, I look forward to collaborating with everyone across the organisation to continue innovating, expanding our market presence, and delivering value to our clients and shareholders."

At 0859 GMT, shares in Redcentric were down 0.72% at 123.85p.
