Salter owner Ultimate Products has appointed Chris Dent as chief financial officer.
Due to take up his role on 4 April, he will also be part of the group’s board and will succeed Graham Screawn who has decided to retire in the second half of 2022.
Dent will join the business from Franchise Brands, the AIM-listed multi-brand franchise business, where he has been chief financial officer since July 2017. He previously spent four years as finance director of 7digital Group, the B2B end-to-end digital music solutions business.
He began his career at Deloitte where he worked for 10 years within audit, corporate finance and transactional accounting services.
James McCarthy, chairman of Ultimate Products, said: “On behalf of the board, I am delighted to welcome Chris to Ultimate Products. He has significant accounting and financial experience having been the CFO of two other quoted companies, and we are very pleased to have found such a strong candidate to replace Graham. We look forward to Chris playing a key role in Ultimate Products’ ambitious future growth plans.”
