Hi folks,

The search for his successor will begin immediately. It's being

Just a matter of inquiry, why didn't the search start when Mike
handed
in his notice, compared to now when he has left? With a role like this
wouldn't it make sense to have it refilled as soon as possible to give
the best chance of a change over period?

I think it's clear in the original announcement that this isn't a "clean
break", but will be phased pending appointment of a replacement for Mike.
