Barton previously held the CFO Australian and New Zealand position within Electronic Data Systems as well as holding senior finance and commercial positions within Singtel Optus, Sun Systems and HIH Winterthur Insurance. He will commence with Salmat on August 3, and will work alongside current CFO Colin Wright until November.

Grant Harrod says, “Chad Barton has a proven ability to manage complex and large finance functions within businesses of scale. In his previous positions he has developed and integrated new financial systems driven process improvements and provided strategic support to the executive team and board.”

Harrod – who commenced his position at Salmat in April – joins Philip Salter and Peter Mattick as executive directors of the Board. Salter and Mattick will transition to non-executive director status following the expiry of their current contract term as joint managing directors in October.

Salter and Matick have built Salmat frm scratch over the past 25 years to be one of the biggest companies operating in print and related services, and non-related services such as call centres.
