Christopher Dehring has been appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors of Caribbean Cement (CCC) Company and its subsidiaries, effective October 14, 2014, a release from the company stated.
The appointment is in line with IC Insiders report, that he seems slated for the post following the shake-up of the board of CCC’s parent company, Trinidad Cement. The company also reports that Messers Parris Lyew-Ayee and Dehring have also been appointed members of the Board Audit Committee.
After a long running battle between a group of disgruntled shareholders and the former board of Trinidad Cement, the way was cleared for an extraordinary general meeting to be held in August which ousted a number of directors from that board, as well as the CEO Rollin Bertrand. This led three members of the CCC board to hand in their resignations, including its former chairman, Brain Young.
