Former Trinity deputy CEO returns to management
Trinity has appointed its former deputy chief executive Steve Leigh as joint managing director, following negotiations with the company.
Leigh resigned together with the chief executive, Laurie Brindle, in July but stayed with Trinity as it rebuilt its management team. Leigh will work alongside newly appointed managing director Chris Morton.
Leigh will focus on core funds management while Morton will focus on legacy issues and strategic growth.
Leigh said he accepted the position after the board began addressing the issues that led to his resignation earlier in the year.
The appointment, which was negotiated by Morton, came with the full support of the board, Trinity chairman Brett Heading said. He added that it was an excellent outcome for the company as it implements its renewal program and focus on funds management.
Morton said he and Leigh were concentrating on rebuilding confidence in Trinity’s business model.
