DX Group set to appoint new non-executive director amid "tremendous growth opportunities"

DX (Group) has announced the proposed appointment of Liad Meidar, managing partner of one of its largest shareholders, as a non-executive director.

Gatemore Capital Management (GCM) wrote to the logistics firm at the end of last month demanding Meidar became a board member after DX said there was a potential corporate governance issue and that it would not be able to publish its results on time and its shares would be suspended in the New Year.

GCM holds almost a fifth of all the shares in the business.

Ron Series, DX (Group) chairman, said: “Gatemore has been a staunch supporter as we have completed the turnaround of DX from a position of near collapse to profitability and cash generation.
