Polarcus Limited announces that Duncan Eley has been appointed Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Eley replaces Rod Starr, who has resigned from the Company following the completion of a two year period of restructuring, refinancing and reorganisation.
Duncan Eley, currently Chief Operating Officer for Polarcus, is promoted to the position of CEO to succeed Mr. Starr, effective immediately. Mr. Eley has over 18 years of experience in the seismic industry in various senior management roles and has been Polarcus' COO since May 2013.
As COO, Mr. Eley has been responsible for Polarcus' continued operational and EHSQ excellence.
