Evans Dixon names new CEO

Financial services firm Evans Dixon has announced the appointment of Peter Anderson as its new chief executive officer, effective immediately.

Anderson, who has more than 25 years' experience in both restructuring and insolvency, joined the Evans Dixon board as an independent director on 4 April 2019 and will step down from the board once a new independent director is appointed.

In welcoming Anderson as CEO, executive chair David Evans said: "We are very pleased that Peter will be leading our company. His experience and the knowledge gained since he joined our board means that no time will be lost as we continue the work to improve and strengthen the performance of our business".

Anderson replaces Alan Dixon who stepped down as CEO in June 2019 following a restructure of the firm's management team.
