LONDON - Begbies Traynor Group (LON:BEG) plc has announced the death of Graham McInnes, a non-executive director of the firm, following a short illness. The board expressed its deepest condolences to McInnes's family and gratitude for his significant contributions since joining the board in 2004.
McInnes played a pivotal role in the company's history, initially joining as finance director and later serving as corporate development director. He was instrumental in the company's listing on the AIM market in September 2004. Since July 2012, McInnes had contributed as a non-executive director, as well as a member of the remuneration and audit committees. He also held the position of senior independent non-executive director since 2018.
Ric Traynor, executive chairman of Begbies Traynor Group, reflected on McInnes's impact, stating, "We are all deeply saddened by this news. Graham made a huge contribution to the company and the board. I have personally worked with Graham for over 30 years and he was both a friend and gifted colleague whose experience and understanding of financial and commercial matters was invaluable. Both the board and I will miss his wise counsel, vast experience and friendship."
The company will be assigning the role of senior independent non-executive director to another board member in the near future. This announcement is based on a press release statement.
