Strip Tinning has announced the appointment of Kevin Edwards as its new chief financial officer (CFO).

Edwards, a finance director with over 25 years’ experience with manufacturing and technology companies, will join the company and board on 1 August.

He has previously held a range of senior finance management roles and is currently the CFO and COO at LightwaveRF Ltd, which was formerly quoted on AIM.

Strip Tinning, which supplies specialist connection systems to the automotive sector, confirmed that its current CFO, Adam Levan, is resigning from the position after two and a half years.

Levan will remain with Strip Tinning until 16 August to oversee an orderly handover.

Strip Tinning chairman, Adam Robson, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Kevin to the team given the wealth of experience he brings to the role. He will be instrumental to the continued execution of our growth ambitions, and we look forward to him joining.

“The board would like to thank Adam for the role he has played in seeing Strip Tinning through its AIM IPO and initial period as a quoted company. The board thanks him for his contribution during this important time for the Company and wishes him well for the future.”
