Spirax-Sarco Engineering has recruited Louisa Burdett from FTSE 100 company Croda International to be its chief financial officer.<\/p>\n
She fills the vacancy created at the Cheltenham engineering giant by the promotion of Nimesh Patel to chief executive.<\/p>\n
Patel said: “Her insights, borne off a long and successful career in some of the UK’s leading industrial companies, as well as her strong values, will bring further strength and depth to the group.”<\/p>\n
Burdett will start work next July, with director of group finance Phil Scott filling in as interim CFO for six months. It is a quick return to the South West for Burdett, who only joined Croda in January after four years with Meggitt in Bournemouth.<\/p>\n
Jamie Pike, chair of Spirax-Sarco Engineering, said: “Louisa has an exceptional track record in leading finance for UK listed companies, together with related non-executive and sector experience that will be invaluable to the board and executive leadership team as we progress on our journey towards creating sustainable value for all our stakeholders.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
