Carter & Carter begins search for new boss
Carter & Carter today said it would not rush into appointing a successor for chief executive Phillip Carter, the company’s founder who was killed last week with his teenage son in a helicopter crash.
The UK-based training and support services company has hired a recruitment firm to lead an internal and external search for a new chief executive, but stressed it would “not be making a hasty decision”.
Carter & Carter chairman Rodney Westhead, who was appointed interim chief executive last week, said: “I have very capable support from the senior management team.
“It is clearly important that we go through the proper process to ensure we appoint the right individual to the job.”
Mr Carter and his son Andrew, 17, were among four people killed in the helicopter crash as they were flying home after watching Chelsea’s Champions League semi-final defeat at Liverpool.
