LONDON - Renishaw plc (LON:RSW), a provider of manufacturing technologies, analytical instruments and medical devices, announced Thursday that Group Finance Director Allen Roberts will step down after a 46-year career with the company.

John Deer, co-founder and Non-executive Director of Renishaw, praised Roberts’ contribution, noting that he helped "navigate its financial and strategic development over the past 46 years, notably in establishing its overseas subsidiaries."

Sir David Grant, Interim Non-Executive Chair, called Roberts’ tenure of over 40 years as Finance Director of a FTSE-listed company "an incredible achievement."

The company has begun the process to recruit a Chief Financial Officer, with further information to be provided in due course.

In a trading update included in the announcement, Renishaw stated it expects revenue for the 2025 full year to be around the middle of the £700 million to £720 million range, with adjusted profit before tax towards the top of the £109 million to £127 million range.

The company will release its 2025 full year results on September 18, 2025, according to the press release statement.
