Changes to the Executive Management of the Mariculture Division
Retirement : Mr André du Plessis
Mr André du Plessis, who will turn 65 later this year has decided that he would like to enjoy more free time and as such he will be step down from his position as
CEO of the Mariculture Group. He will therefore not be involved with operations i.e. he will not have a line function except for Marifeed, where Kurt will still report to him.
We are however fortunate not to lose André's wealth of experience, as he has agreed to act as Business Development-Consultant for our Mariculture Division
on a part-time basis. He will also continue to serve as a non-executive director on various Boards in our Group.
Mr Du Plessis has loyally served the Group since November 1994. The Board of Directors is immensely thankful for the value that he has created for the shareholders over the past
16½ years. We firmly believe that André - a pioneer of Abalone farming in South Africa (SA) - has created SA's Number One Mariculture Group over this period. The products and
services of these businesses are truly world class, and internationally in high demand.
Appointment : Mr Jacques du Plessis
Mr Jacques du Plessis has been appointed as General Manager: Abalone Division, where he will assume full responsibility for our Group's Abalone investments.
We are extremely fortunate to appoint an internal resource in this important executive management function.
Jacques has made an excellent contribution to our Abalone Division over the past 10 years. We have seen Jacques setting high performance standards for himself and his staff. We wish Jacques
well in this new position and look forward to see the Abalone Division's growth and success under his leadership, as he and the Abalone Team lives our vision : "TerraSan people build world-class businesses".
Both Jacques and Mr Schalk Visser (General Manager: Mussel Division), will report directly to the TerraSan Group M.D.
