Following O'Hare's appointment, Paul Stevenage will retire as a director. Eftel chair, Stephe Wilks, said: "Paul leaves the board after having served the company for more than nine very productive and effective years...While we accept his view that it is now time for a change with the appointment of Ryan to the board – he will be a loss to the company."
