Bernard Hatton, chairman and chief executive of Verna, stepped down on completion after more than thirty years with the group. He has been replaced by fellow director Karen Haslam who hopes, with LGV’s support, to further develop a business already boasting strong credentials in the healthcare sector.

Verna, which generates annual sales of around £60 million, provides a range of pulp-based and infection-control products to hospitals and care homes in the UK.
