(Sharecast News) - Diploma has appointed Barbara Gibbes as its chief financial officer designate with effect from 22 June.
Chartered accountant Gibbes, who will join the company on 2 March, has held senior finance positions at Management Consulting Group, Domino's Pizza and Intu Properties.

Diploma said Nigel Lingwood will step down from the board in June and "continue to facilitate a successful handover" until he leaves the group at the end of September, as previously announced.

Chief executive Johnny Thomson said: "I am delighted to welcome Barbara to Diploma. She has a wealth of experience and a strong track record in fast paced, decentralised, service-orientated environments.

"She has strategic vision, strong commercial acumen and a track record of execution. I have no doubt that Barbara is an excellent fit for Diploma, and I am really excited about working with her to deliver our strategic objectives and the next phase of growth."
