Clive Beattie to leave nurtur.group as Chief Financial Officer
Following the successful completion of the sale of its Networks division to The Property Franchise Group (“TPFG”), nurtur.group announces that Clive Beattie, Group CFO, will be leaving by mutual agreement. Clive joined the group in January 2023 to consider and implement strategic options for shareholders. Having identified a sale of the Networks division as the preferred short-term strategy to maximise shareholder value, Clive led the process that culminated in the sale of the business to TPFG.
The remaining businesses in nurtur.tech, the outcome of a series of acquisitions in recent years, have been integrated onto common platforms and enhanced reporting systems have been implemented. With a streamlined team in place, nurtur.tech is well positioned for growth and to deliver further returns to shareholders in the medium term.
Jon Cooke, nurtur.group CEO, commented “I would like to thank Clive for all his hard work in the time he has been with us, in particular for his leadership in overseeing the exit from our Networks division for our shareholders. On behalf of myself and the Board, I wish him the best in his future endeavours.”
