Ciarán has worked with many of the Company’s clients and is known to friends and colleagues throughout the industry. It is therefore appropriate for us to make an early announcement that Ciarán will retire in July next year, 2022.

In preparation for his retirement, Ciarán has stepped down from the Company’s Board and over the next twelve months a significant aspect of his focus will be the transfer of knowledge, expertise and responsibilities to other members of the CDS team.
