A statement from the company said: “Throughout his tenure John has provided strong guidance and focus, but at the same time fostered and enabled the right culture for the business to grow and prosper. John will be much missed, both as Chairman and substantial shareholder. As a result of John’s departure, Rotala will become a business wholly owned by the Dunn family.”

I would like to express my sincere thank you to John for his 20 years’ service as Chairman of our Group. I am following a great man, a true entrepreneur, and a great leader. John has continually provided support and inspiration to the Board during his tenure. I have learnt much, very much, from his wisdom and experience. I will work tirelessly to follow in John’s footsteps in a similar manner.

“From my heart John thank you for everything. I will give 100% commitment to my new role and my ambition continues to grow. My loyalty and support for my son Simon will always be deep. My support for my fellow Directors of both the group and subsidiaries will be unquestionable, as will my support for our great employees. Our Vision is to continue our journey to grow and prosper; our aim and our strategy is to continue to build a diversified group , which will provide a strong and stable platform for all who work in it over the many generations to come.”
