Victorian Plumbing appoints new CFO

Skelmersdale-based Victorian Plumbing has promoted Dan Barton to the role of chief financial officer.

Dan joined the AIM-listed company in August and recently assumed the role of company secretary.

He previously served as deputy CFO at DWF Group for three years and prior to that was deputy CFO and company secretary at Wilmington Group. He originally qualified as a Chartered Accountant at PwC.

Dan will take over the role on 1 April, and replaces Paul Meehan who steps down at the end of March but will remain with the business and assist in the handover until 30 June.

Mark Radcliffe, founder and CEO of Victorian Plumbing, said: "I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the board, to thank Paul for his significant contribution to Victorian Plumbing since he joined the business in 2020.

"His work preparing the finance function and the wider group for its IPO in 2021 has ensured that the business has the necessary systems and structures in place to deliver its growth ambitions. We wish Paul all the best with his future endeavours.

"I am delighted that Dan has agreed to take up the CFO position. He has worked alongside Paul since last year and has already made a significant contribution to the finance function and the wider group and the board are confident that he is the right person to succeed Paul as CFO.”
