WHITE Young Green (WYG), the Leeds-based design and engineering consultancy, has appointed David Jeffcoat as non-executive director.
He will become chairman of the company’s audit committee on January 31 when John Richardson retires from the board.
Mr Jeffcoat is a qualified accountant with experience in the engineering and technology sectors.
He was group finance director and company secretary of the FTSE 250 manufacturing group Ultra Electronics Holdings until his retirement in 2009.
Prior to this, he served as group financial controller with Smiths Industries (now Smiths Group) and as group finance director with Johnston Group – an international engineering company with subsidiaries in the UK, US and Australia.
