Mr Connolly said: “I am delighted to be joining Reabold during a key period for many of our assets, with the Corallian and California deals progressing positively. I look forward to building on the strong foundation that Sachin and Stephen have built and supporting the growth ambitions of the Company in the months and years ahead.”
