Conifex Timber has announced that Blair Mayes will not take up his role as chief operating officer of the company as earlier reported.
Mayes, who had been scheduled to start his duties on Nov. 15, cited "unforeseen" personal circumstances as the reason for not taking up his new role. "With great regret, I have determined not to be the chief operating officer of Conifex because of unexpected personal circumstances," he said in a prepared statement. "I hold Conifex and its people in the highest regard and am sorry to miss the opportunity to be part of such an exciting opportunity but believe that my decision is best for me and my family," added Mayes.
Conifex chairman and CEO Ken Shields said that the company wishes Mayes and his family all the very best. "(We) will miss the opportunity to have him be part of our team," said Shields.
Mayes has been with Dunkley Lumber Ltd. for almost 30 years, most recently as general manager.
