Woodbois Limited announced that David Rothschild has been appointed as CEO. David has been a Non-Executive Director for almost two years and has an intimate knowledge of the Group. David's experience in managing large-scale agricultural projects in Africa, along with his McKinsey background, means that he brings a strong practical and analytical approach to the role.

His French language skills are of great benefit in Francophone Africa and the extremely high standards that he sets for himself will need to be matched throughout the organisation. As previously disclosed, after seven years with the Company, Paul Dolan has now stepped-down as CEO and will be a non-independent non-executive Director until an independent replacement is found.
