Mr. Roney was formerly Chief Executive Officer of Bunzl, the international distribution and outsourcing group, listed on the London Stock Exchange FTSE 100 index, with operations spanning 29 countries and 4 continents.
He retired from Bunzl earlier this year, having served as CEO since 2005 and prior to that as non-executive director. Under Mr. Roney’s leadership of more than 10 years, Bunzl moved into the FTSE 100, made more than 100 acquisitions and had a compound annual TSR of 17%. The wealth of experience he gained at Bunzl and also in other international senior management positions and non-executive directorships, will provide excellent support to Azelis in setting the strategic direction for the business.
Mr. Michael Roney
Dr. Hans-Joachim Müller, Azelis Chief Executive Officer, said that the appointmet is a significant development for Azelis as the Group will benefit from Roney's expertise and proven track record in distribution.
