Dean Jenkins to quit as Weir chief operating officer
The Glasgow-based firm said the Australian citizen, who joined in November 2010 and was promoted to chief operating officer at the start of this year, will step down from its board on 30 September to “spend more time with his family”.
However, the aerospace engineering graduate, who previously worked for Australian airline Qantas, will remain an employee of Weir until the end of the year after agreeing to continue leading its innovation, technology and safety strategies as he hands over his other responsibilities to other executives.
