CHANGE TO BOARD AND COMMITTEE COMPOSITION – CLIFFORD ROSS
STEPPING DOWN AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE, ANDREW WIDEGGER APPOINTED
In compliance with Section 3.59 of the JSE Listings
Requirements, shareholders are advised that Clifford Ross,
will, due to ill health, be stepping down as Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) from 30 June 2018.
Clifford has enjoyed an outstanding career with City Lodge
spanning some 30 years. Following his initial appointment
as General Manager of City Lodge Hotel Bryanston in 1987,
he was promoted to Operations Director in 1991, Managing
Director in 1994 and finally as CEO in 2003. During his
tenure Clifford has overseen the group’s expansion to 61
hotels operating in six countries on the continent.
The board expresses its sincere appreciation to Clifford
for his dedicated leadership, commitment and valued
contribution and wishes him well for the future.
The board is pleased to announce that Andrew Widegger will
succeed Clifford as CEO with effect from 1 July 2018.
Andrew joined the company as Group Financial Manager in
1993 and has fulfilled the role of Financial Director on
the board since 1994. His in-depth knowledge, expertise and
experience across all aspects of the business make him the
ideal candidate for the role of CEO and will ensure a
smooth transition in executive leadership. The board
welcomes Andrew in his new role and is confident that,
under his leadership, the group will enjoy continued
success.
In addition to Andrew’s appointment, the following
appointments have been made, both with effect from 1 July
2018:
1. Alastair Dooley as Chief Financial Officer and executive
director on the board. Alastair, a Chartered
Accountant, joined City Lodge in 2009 from KPMG and,
prior to his promotion, fulfilled the role of Divisional
Director: Financial.
2. Lindiwe Sangweni-Siddo as Chief Operating Officer and
executive director on the board. Lindiwe joined the
company in 2015 from the Birchwood Hotel and OR Tambo
Conference Centre and, prior to her promotion, fulfilled
the role of Divisional Director: Operations.
The board congratulates Andrew, Alastair and Lindiwe on
their respective appointments.
Following Clifford Ross’ retirement and a reassessment of
the composition of the Risk and Social & Ethics Committees
of which he was a member, shareholders are advised of
Alastair Dooley’s appointment to the Risk Committee and
Lindiwe Sangweni-Siddo’s appointment to the Social & Ethics
