Anya Ledwith, Chairman of Gatwick Diamond Business released the following announcement today...

"After 14 successful years in the role of Chief Executive, Jeremy Taylor has informed the Executive Council that he is looking to move on to new opportunities and a new Chief Executive is being sought to drive Gatwick Diamond Business forward during the next phase of growth.

"To ensure a smooth succession, Jeremy has agreed to remain in post on a part-time retained basis for a short period to support the incoming candidate while maintaining gdb’s status with our high-profile members, stakeholders and committees.

"It has been a great 14 years and I’m so pleased with how gdb has become such a well-recognised and respected organisation. Over the last couple of years we have made real progress with a great team in place, a dynamic membership, as well as more varied and valued services. I have no doubt that gdb will therefore continue to thrive.

"On behalf of gdb, I am sure you will join me in wishing Jeremy all the very best.  We look forward to the next exciting stage of gdb’s growth."

Everyone at Platinum Publishing Group wishes Jeremy every success in his new ventures.
