An Post yet to deliver new chief

AN POST has yet to find a new chief executive, despite reports Waterford Crystal boss John Foley had taken the job.

According to sources, Mr Foley was offered the chief executive’s post last week but turned it down, preferring to press ahead with Waterford’s restructuring process.

An Post’s current chief executive Donal Curtin is to leave the company after three years next month.

It was also reported Eircom’s commercial director David McRedmond has pulled out of the race for the An Post job. Separate sources said An Post may turn to current chief operating officer Larry Donald to fill the €400,000-a-year post.
