It is a real privilege to become Chairman of this great British company, and I look forward to working closely with the team and seeing Pure continue to deliver on its strategy for growth.”
Pure’s CEO, Paul Smith commented: “We are delighted that Sir Hossein has accepted the role as Chairman to help guide Pure into its next phase. His unique combination of knowledge of Pure, his wealth of market knowledge and his incredible industry relationships, will help us steer Pure into an exciting new chapter.”
