Centralus PLC announces the appointment of David Callaghan as Chief Executive Officer from 1st May 2018, to succeed Jonathan Beckerlegge, who said:
“I have spent two exciting years with Centralus as Chairman & CEO; realising the shareholders’ initial vision, introducing the unique and innovative ‘enhanced employee engagement’ model to the UK and putting together an unrivalled team.
While I relinquish the CEO position, I will be staying on as Chairman.
We wanted David for his strategic strengths, determined execution and his ability to inspire people every step of the way. We look forward to David extending these qualities throughout the organisation as we build on our enormous success as first mover in the market.

I have been with the business since the start of 2017 and have seen first hand the significant impact we have had on clients and their employees. The vision for the future is inspiring and I am proud to be part of the team making such a difference to so many.”
