LONDON (ShareCast) - Ground engineering firm Keller Group has announced that Justin Atkinson, the company's chief executive (CEO), will retire from his role at the end of 2015.
The group has confirmed it has already started a selection process to find a replacement for the outgoing CEO, who first joined the company in 1990.

Keller said he could no longer commit to the increasing amount of overseas travel that his job required.

"Since I joined Keller in 1990, the Group has grown significantly, especially in international markets with the Group now working in over 40 countries," said Keller.

"Particularly during recent years, this has meant an ever increasing amount of overseas travel, which is not something I can continue to commit to. "

Group chairman Roy Franklin said: "The timing of this decision provides Keller with continuity of leadership and the necessary time to search for and appoint his successor in an orderly handover."
