Bell Equipment CEO, Leon Goosen, has resigned after five years in the role to pursue other interests
- Goosen joined the company’s board 14 years ago and held the positions of Chief Operations Officer before becoming CEO in 2018.
- The announcement of Goosen’s resignation has drawn criticism from industry experts, citing a lack of transparency and unanswered questions regarding the company’s future direction.
- Bell Equipment, like many businesses, faced challenges during the pandemic, resulting in a decline in its share price before recovering.
- Goosen will remain in his position until December, and the company will initiate a process to appoint a new CEO.
- Recently, Bell reached an agreement with the National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) to convert 100 contract workers into permanent employees, avoiding a potential strike.
