The Board of Imperial Pacific Limited announced that Mr. David A Sutherland has been appointed a Director of the company. He replaces Mr. John C Plummer who has stood down from the Board with effect as from May 31, 2012. Mr. Sutherland has been involved in the investment markets for over thirty years. He has held senior positions in the sector within merchant banks and investment houses over this period. In recent times he held the senior executive position of Investment Manager at HGL Limited for seven years where he had particular experience with corporate equity investments. Mr. Plummer is Deputy Chair of Chandler Macleod Limited and a Director of Professional Associations Superannuation Limited where he is Chair of the Investment Committee. He also holds a number of private board positions including his recent appointment as Chairman of the Australian Institute of Financial Services and Accounting. Increasing workloads with these other commitments has not allowed Mr. Plummer to dedicate the time necessary for the Imperial Pacific group.
