Engineering company RCR Tomlinson Ltd has announced three changes to its board of directors, including the appointment of Roderick Brown as its new chairman following the retirement of Raymond Lynch.
The company has also appointed former Positron Group chief executive and founder Jeffrey Hogan as an executive director, while Charles Birmingham has stepped down from executive duties to become a non-executive director.
Mr Brown, an engineer, has been a non-executive director of Welshpool-based RCR since October 2005 and has more than 18 years experience as a company director.
Mr Brown was until recently a non-executive director of Malaga-based Kresta Holdings Ltd and remains chairman of Osborne Park-based Immersive Technologies Pty Ltd.
He has held various senior management positions including managing director of Joyce Corporation Ltd, general manager of CSR Construction Materials in Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory, president of Wagner Mining and Construction Equipment in the USA and marketing director of Atlas Copco Mining and Construction in Sweden.
Mr Hogan was the founder and CEO of the Positron Group which had operations across Australia with sales exceeding $100 million and employees numbering 550 at the time of sale to RCR Tomlinson Ltd.
Since RCR purchased Positron in 2007, Mr Hogan has held the position of executive general manager, Electrical Business Unit with RCR, responsible for integration, organic growth and business alignment.
Last month, RCR secured $60 million in new project orders through its engineering, electrical, maintenance and energy business units.
At the time, the company said it had strong levels of work in hand with tendering remaining at very high levels leading into 2008.
