We, therefore, would like to thank him for his invaluable contribution and wish him all the best for the future. We have no doubt that, in David, we have found the ideal replacement, bringing with him vast experience and a hands-on, solutions-driven approach.”

Degiorgio said: “I look forward to working alongside the great team at Gasco and to contributing to its ongoing success. Over the years, I have managed many aspects of industrial production processes thanks to a firm scientific background and experience in managing budgets, quality, human resources, stock and health and safety. The plant manager role will now allow me to bring all these experiences together within a forward-looking industry leader.”
