Reunert's Martin Shaw today hands over his position as chairman of the board to business veteran Trevor Munday.
Shaw was appointed to the Reunert board in 2001 and as chairman of Reunert on 1 June 2005.
He joined Deloitte & Touche in 1956 in Johannesburg. He was appointed a partner in 1968 and transferred to Durban. He returned to Johannesburg in 1983 and was appointed managing partner. In 1991 he became chief executive, a position he held until 1999. Thereafter he acted as chairman of the board until his retirement in 2001.
Shaw serves as a board member of Illovo Sugar, JD Group, Liberty Group, Liberty Holdings, Murray & Roberts Holdings, Pretoria Portland Cement Company, Standard Bank Group and Standard Bank of SA.
In a statement published this morning, CEO Gerrit Pretorius thanked Shaw for his leadership role at the company.
Munday takes up the position as of today, after being appointed as a non-executive director on the board a year ago. Munday has had an extensive business history, having served on several boards, including Absa and Dulux Paints.
Before coming to the Reunert board, he was deputy CEO at Sasol. Munday retired from Sasol in 2007, taking up the deputy chairman's position at Barloworld. At the time, his appointment was lambasted by public investment commissioner Brian Molefe and he resigned soon after.
