Nicholas Sibley, who had been a director since 1999 and chairperson since 2002, would be stepping down on February 28 next year, after which Rudd would become chairperson on March 1.
Rudd previously held various senior management and board positions and had been involved with South African companies for over 25 years.

“I am delighted that Nigel has accepted the invitation to join the board. I can think of no better person to take my place as chairperson. He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge in a range of business, particularly in Southern Africa, and I am sure that he will make a great contribution to the ongoing growth and success of the company,” he noted.
