It is a great honour to be appointed to the Board of Directors. I would like to thank Belzona for giving me this incredible opportunity, as well as for the extensive investment made into my training and development in preparation for my new role. This includes attendance at the Rising Women Leaders Programme at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School.
I am excited to bring my wealth of my experience to my new position within the business, with the aim of driving the growth and success of this amazing Company and its employees.
Mrs Walton’s appointment to the Board is part of the Company’s ongoing investment in its staff members. Indeed, ‘investment’ is one of the three pillars identified in the Company’s new values and mission statement, along with ‘innovation’ and ‘integrity’.
