Crothall era comes to end
Mr G. A. Crothall has resigned as chairman and a director of the Command Services Corporation, Ltd. He will be succeeded byMr G. A. Weston, the head of the Morgan Grenfell merchant banking operation in Australia. Mr R. W. Langford has also resigned, and Messrs P. J. Fox, R. C. O’Donoghue, and L. J. Taylor have been appointed to the board. The British-based Pritchard group, which holds about 60 per cent of the Command capital, now controls the board. Mr Weston was a Pritchard nominee when he
joined the board last year. Messrs Fox and O’Donoghue are Pritchard executives in Britain. Mr Taylor, a New Zealander, was recently appointed managing director of Command’s New Zealand activities.
The chairman’s resignation ends the Crothall era in the Christchurch-based group. His father began it as a one-man, carpet cleaning operation after World War 11.
The Crothall family sold its holdings to the Pritchard group several years ago; since then Mr Crothall, who lives in America, had been chairman.
