Gary Nutter is joining Sheffield Forgemasters as CEO as David Bond plans to step down.
He’ll full responsibility next month, and brings significant experience of global business leadership, most recently serving as CEO and Director of aerospace engineering group RLC Aerospace Ltd, following careers at Kongsberg Marine Ltd and Rolls-Royce Plc.
David Bond has led the business since 2018 and will soon step down, having extended his tenure to oversee our acquisition by the Ministry of Defence in 2021 and the launch of our recapitalisation programme, supporting manufacture for UK defence.
The appointment of Gary as the new CEO comes at a time of unprecedented change in the company’s history. He will join a strong and highly experienced Board to deliver the recapitalisation programme which is now taking physical shape as we prepare the site for new, large-scale manufacturing facilities, unmatched within the UK.
Gary brings a strong track record of top-level management and understanding of global business operations, which will be vital to delivering the scope of change required at Sheffield Forgemasters and ensuring that our defence and commercial market demands are met.
