Coalville-based brick-maker Forterra is set to appoint a new CFO.

Ben Guyatt will take up the role on 1 January 2020 following Shatish Dasani’s decision to step down.

Guyatt, who will join the company’s Board, has served as director of finance and company secretary at Forterra since its listing in April 2016. He previously worked for Hanson, HeidelbergCement and Heath Lambert.

Dasani joined Forterra in December 2015 and was a key member of the leadership team which took the company through its IPO in April 2016. 

Forterra’s chairman Justin Atkinson said: “On behalf of the Board I would like to thank Shatish for his substantial contribution to the company over the last four years and wish him well in the next stage of his career.

“I am delighted that Ben will be joining the Board as chief financial officer. Having worked with Ben since the successful IPO, I am convinced he will bring significant knowledge and experience to the Board.”
