Benchmark Holdings announces leadership reshuffle ahead of delisting.
Benchmark Holdings, a provider of biotechnology solutions to the aquaculture industry, has announced significant leadership and board-level changes ahead of its planned delisting from the London Stock Exchange, anticipated around August 15, 2025.
Patrick Waty will replace Trond Williksen as Chief Executive Officer, while Pierre Hugo is appointed as the new Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Septima Maguire, who stepped down at the end of June.
On the company’s board, Therese Log Bergjord joins as a Non-Executive Director, replacing Marie Danielsson. Further appointments include Frode Sandmark, Frida Lillebøe, and Michael Zhang, who take over from outgoing directors Torgeir Svae, Kristian Eikre, and Jonathan Esfandi, respectively.
Nathan Lane will also step down from his position as Chairman on the delisting date.
Benchmark has clarified that neither Waty nor Hugo will join the company’s board. These adjustments modify earlier board composition plans previously communicated to shareholders on May 23, 2025.
The new leadership and board appointments will take effect on the later of the delisting date or August 31, 2025.
