Decmil Group has appointed Bill Healy as its next chairman, to replace Giles Everist who is stepping down after five years in the role.
Mr Healy, who has been a non-executive director at the engineering construction firm since 2009, was a director and shareholder in Sealcorp Holdings from 1985, which then established and developed the diversified financial services group. He was a founding director of ASGARD Capital Management, Securitor Financial Group, PACT Investment Group and ASSIRT, all of which were part of the Sealcorp business.
Mr Healy remained on the Sealcorp board for a further two years after the company was acquired by St George Bank in 1997.
Later he was founding director and chairman of BOOM Logistics.
Decmil managing director Scott Criddle said of Mr Everist's retirement, "Giles has been a great leader in the business and we are very thankful for the work he has done as chairman. Since his appointment as chairman, he has played a significant role in the development of the group."
Mr Everist will remain on the Decmil board as a non-executive director, and has been made chair of the audit & risk committee.
