Telent, which installs and manages much of the UK’s and Ireland’s critical infrastructure, is sad to announce that its long-standing Finance Director, John Kimpton, will be stepping down at the end of December for health reasons.

Gillian joins as Chief Financial Officer of Telent Technology Services Limited, the operating company for Telent in the UK and Ireland, on 30 September, ensuring a smooth handover .
John has worked for Telent and its predecessor business for over 30 years. He joined GEC in 1991, initially in its Defence operations before becoming Financial Director for the Marconi Value Added Service business in 2001, which formed the core of Telent in 2006.
