Following a review of strategy, Spearhead International is pleased to make these important announcements concerning the leadership of Greens of Soham Ltd (Greens) in the UK

John Addams-Williams will become Managing Director of Greens effective from 31st October 2016. John takes on this role from Julius Joel who, with our best wishes, will move on to pursue new career opportunities on 30th November 2016.

Jane Perkins will become Finance Director of Greens effective from 31st October 2016. Jane takes on this role from Clive Wilson who, with our best wishes, will move on to pursue new career opportunities on 30th November.

John Addams-Williams, since joining Greens in 1996, has led the Greenseed International potato business through recent years of growth, and this business is identified as a strategic priority for the Spearhead Group going forwards. It is very good that, through this appointment, John's experience and leadership will now benefit the rest of Greens.

Jane Perkins joined Spearhead in 2010 and she will combine her new FD role in Greens with her continuing responsibilities as Spearhead Group Finance Manager.

Both Julius Joel and Clive Wilson have contributed hugely to Greens and Spearhead over the years, and I take this opportunity to express our gratitude to them. Both will continue to support the Company on a consultancy basis for specific projects over the transition.
