Turners Auctions chief operating officer Todd Hunter is to step into the role of interim chief executive following a board meeting today.
The appointment follows the sudden departure of Graham Roberts from the role last week – read about it HERE.
Chairman Michael Dossor had initially stepped in until the latest appointment, and told DIESELtalk today they were, “getting on with finding a replacement.”
Dossor refused to be drawn on the reasons for Roberts’ sudden departure: “It happened, we are moving on.”
“(Todd) will be interim CEO, and we are getting on with the future.”
Dossor says Hunter’s appointment has been very well received, and he will likely be considered for the permanent position.
“We are very pleased with his appointment, and I can tell you so far it has met with a good response from those I have spoken to,” Dossor says.
