Announcements by CRH
CRH PLC, the Irish group with world-wide interests in brick, tile, cement and building and roadstone materials, said on 28 November that - further to its announcement in February of the appointment of Myles Lee as Finance Director Designate - Mr Lee had duly been appointed as Finance Director with immediate effect. This follows the retirement of Harry Sheridan as an Executive and Director.
Commenting on these changes, CRH's Chief Executive Liam O'Mahony said: "Harry Sheridan has been integral to the development of CRH over the past 36 years, including 16 years as Finance Director. From its initial Irish home base CRH has expanded its operations into 23 countries with annual sales of approximately €11 billion.
"We thank Harry sincerely for his contribution and wish him well in his retirement. Myles Lee has been General Manager Finance since 1988 and is uniquely qualified to lead CRH in this area into the future."
CRH will issue a trading update in relation to the year ending 31 December 2003 at 7am GMT on 7 January 2004. This statement will be issued concurrently with CRH's regular half yearly development strategy update, which will include details of bolt-on acquisitions completed during the six months ending 31 December 2003.
Preliminary results for the period ending 31 December 2003 will be issued on 2 March 2004.
