Godden will take over from David MacLellan at the Aim-quoted firm’s general meeting on 25 January. Godden wishes to buy a “significant” shareholding in the business, and is set to invest via his pension fund.
Havelock’s board proposes that he buy 3,000,000 new ordinary shares at 10 pence each, which would grow his stake in the firm to about 7.7 per cent.
