SDI Changing of the guard

2016 meant the ‘changing of the guard’ for Investor Relations at SDI Limited. After being appointed to the Board as a Non-Executive Director, it became no longer appropriate for Insor principal, Gerry Bullon, to retain the role which he had been doing since 2002.

Immediately upon joining the Board in late 2014, we took advice from the legal department of the AICD as to the appropriateness of continuing to support IR from the Board position and following that advice, Insor started the process of stepping back, taking only a passive role in receiving calls from the market and no longer participating in post-results roadshows.

After the 2015 AGM, the Board agreed that external Investor Relations was preferable and a search began for a suitable firm to support management.

In 2016, Market Eye was appointed.
