Paul Rosser is appointed to the board as director of corporate operations. He has been employed by Alexandra plc as company secretary for the past 18 years
Chris Marsh, who resigned as chairman of the board on 18 September, will continue to work with Alexandra until the end of October.
Alexandra’s interim results for the first half of 2008 revealed a 32% fall in profits before tax to £1.86m. In a statement, company chief executive Julian Budd said: “In the present financial climate, which has required increased cash to be injected into the defined benefit pension scheme, the board has declared a reduced dividend payment.
“Workwear and corporate clothing has proved to be a very competitive sector in recent years and the trading environment has been challenging. We see signs of improvement and believe Alexandra is well placed to embark on a growth strategy once the current economic uncertainty abates.”
