Until a permanent replacement is appointed, Pat Herbert, JDR’s Executive Chairman, will assume interim Chief Executive responsibilities. A recruitment process to find an external successor to Andrew is underway. Herbert will revert to the role of Executive Chairman once the new Chief Executive is appointed.

Pat Herbert said: “I would like to thank Andrew for his contribution to JDR over the past three years and we wish him well for the future. Following three years of focused investment in the business, JDR is now poised to seize the commercial opportunities that lie ahead.”
