WHK Group on hunt for new CEO
WHK Group chief executive Graeme Fowler has handed in his resignation after a four-and-a-half year stint with the company, citing family as the reason behind his departure.
The Melbourne-based accounting group’s managing director Kevin White said the process of finding a replacement had begun, but in the interim he would assume responsibility for Fowler’s duties.
“His decision to leave the group was made following the expiration of his current employment contract, in order to return to Sydney with his family,” White said.
“Graeme has made a major contribution to WHK and has been integral in the continued growth of the group over the last four-and-a-half years.
“The intention is to find a replacement as soon as possible, until then it will be business as usual at WHK Group.”
