As per the company’s submission to SEC, Mr Reid retirement will come into effect from the end of this month. Reid has consented to continue as the Chairman of the company’s board of directors in order to effect a smooth transition. The board of directors have elected Mr Jason Reid to take the place of William Reid as CEO. He is currently serving as the president of the company and is also serving on the board of directors.

The CEO elect is expected to officially take charge from October 1. He joined the company in 2006 and has steadily moved up the management chain. He served as a Vice president during 2008 to 2010.

Thanks to his success in the role of a VP, he was invited to join the board of directors in 2010 and was named as its president.
