Paul Haworth joins GetBusy as CFO

GetBusy announced on Wednesday that Paul Haworth has joined the company as chief financial officer, initially in a non-board position.

The AIM-traded firm said Haworth was until recently the Europe-Middle East-Africa finance director at global industrial LED lighting specialist Dialight.

It said that while there, he co-led the strategic outsourcing of Dialight's UK manufacturing operations and the conversion of their EMEA business to a sales and distribution model.

Haworth also held senior financial roles with Consort Medical and LPA Group, and before that he spent nine years with Deloitte advising “a range” of listed and private technology and software clients.

He is a chartered accountant and holds a degree in astronomy from University College London.

“I am pleased to announce Paul's appointment as CFO of the company,” said GetBusy CEO Daniel Rabie.

“We are delighted to have someone of his experience and expertise join the GetBusy team.

“Employing great people is an important cultural value at GetBusy and I am confident that Paul will be a valuable asset as the company builds on its existing momentum and works toward achieving our growth objectives.”

The board said it intended for Haworth to join it following a “satisfactory” handover period with Chris Hagglund, the current non-board CFO, with a further announcement to be made at that time.
