CRH to appoint CFO from within

CRH is expected to promote from within when deciding upon a new finance director later this year.

The Dublin-based international cement and building materials giant yesterday announced that finance chief Maeve Carton is to move to a newly created wider role with the title of group transformation director.

In that role, Ms Carton will be charged with better integrating CRH’s business, identifying operational and financial opportunities and cash-generation opportunities. She took over the finance director position in 2010 and will remain a member of the executive board.
