UXC Limited is pleased to announce that it has finalised the search for a new Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary with the appointment of Iona MacPherson. 

Iona comes with strong references and credentials. She has been a qualified chartered accountant for over 20 years and brings a strong background of professional development and experience, having been involved in a number of complex roles as well as working in organisations structured in a similar manner to UXC. 

Iona joins UXC from Boom Logistics Limited, where she has held the position of Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary since 2007. In that role, she was pivotal in integrating and improving systems and processes; realising cost synergies across the business; establishing a sound capital management environment; and embedding best practice frameworks for financial management, risk and governance across the organisation. 

Prior to Boom Logistics Limited, Iona spent 4 years as Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary of Australian Air Express, a Qantas and Australia Post joint venture, following a 13 year career with KPMG in their Edinburgh, Hong Kong and Melbourne offices. 

Cris Nicolli, Managing Director of UXC commented: "I am delighted to have Iona join UXC. The role of the CFO in any business, especially in a listed public company is pivotal and to have attracted and gained the services of such a well-respected executive is a reflection of the standing of the company. The Board and I look forward to the significant contribution Iona will make to the business". 

Iona will formally start with UXC in January 2015..
