Senior management changes at CRH

CRH plc, the Dublin-based  international building materials group, have announced that Glenn Culpepper, group finance director since January 2009, has for personal reasons decided to resign from his position and return to the US.

As a result, Mr Culpepper has resigned from the CRH board and will leave the company on 30 June 2010. He is being succeeded as group finance director by Maeve Carton, who became a member of the board last month.

Since joining CRH in 1988, Maeve has held a number of roles in the group finance area and was appointed group controller in 2001 and head of group finance in January 2009. She has broad-ranging experience of CRH’s reporting, control, budgetary and capital expenditure processes and has been extensively involved in the company’s evaluation of acquisitions.

Prior to joining CRH, Maeve worked for a number of years as a chartered accountant in an international accountancy practice.

Commenting on the changes, Myles Lee, CRH chief executive, said: ‘We thank Glenn for his many years of significant achievement in CRH’s operations in the US, and more recently for his contribution at group level in Dublin. Maeve brings significant and comprehensive experience over an extended period to her new role as group finance director.’
