Genuit appoints Tim Pullen as interim CFO

Genuit said on Friday that it has appointed Tim Pullen as interim chief financial officer from 4 September.

Pullen, who replaces Paul James, will report into the board but will not be appointed as a statutory board director.

Genuit announced in June that James was stepping down on 30 September to take up the position as CFO with a privately owned company. The company said Pullen’s appointment "will ensure a smooth transfer of responsibilities".

It said Pullen "brings a broad range of public market experience through a variety of fast-paced and dynamic businesses". He served as CFO of AIM-listed IQE, a manufacturer of advanced semiconductor materials, from 2019 to 2023, and as CFO of Arm Limited from 2017 to 2019. Prior to that, he held senior finance positions in 02/Telefonica UK, Serco and Logica.

"The board is making good progress in its process to select a permanent successor and an appointment will be announced in due course," Genuit said.

Genuit - formerly Polypipe - is a manufacturer of plastic piping systems, for use in the residential, commercial, civils and infrastructure sectors.
