20:20 appoints new finance boss

20:20 today announced the appointment of a new finance director, following Matt Moulding’s decision to leave the business.

Nick Smith will start his role as finance director from 1 March 2008, with Moulding leaving ‘later this year’.

20:20 boss Meinie Oldersma said: ‘Matt has made an outstanding contribution in guiding 20:20 through an exciting change in its history from a family-owned business into a private equity-owned, multi-national market leader.’

Smith, 45, joins 20:20 from battery manufacturer Saft Group, a former acquisition of 20:20's parent company Doughty Hanson.

Oldersma added: ‘We welcome Nick to the Group.  He has a wide range of industry experience and a strong record in driving improved business performance.'
