Enseer now has a new CEO:
In 2008, Mr. Darren Hart stepped up to become the new CEO of Enseer Group.  Prior to that, Darren has been an advisor to the Board since 2003, and he was also Director of Enseer's External Affairs during that time.

Mr. Cunningham is staying on as Chairman. However, Darren will succeed Mr. Arthur Cunningham who is to retire as CEO, so that he can more fully pursue his social entrepreneurial and community aid aspirations.

Darren will be CEO and Enterprise Director, while Mr. Mark Feitsma continues as the Chief Financial Officer and Vice Chairman of the Board after working alongside Mr. Cunningham for over 28 years, and Mark will remain Chief of Enseer's Audit and Investigations section.

Cunningham comments on Hart's appointment:
“Darren’s tremendous skill and experience, as well as his energetic leadership equips him well in his new role. His experience in project management, and his modern approach to business, equips Enseer to grow and build greater positions as the market leader under Darren,” he says.

“I warmly congratulate Darren on his election, and am very pleased to see the leadership of our Group pass on to such capable hands.”

Commenting on his election, Darren says:
“I am very excited about leading our group and working with our clients as we all focus on succeeding in today’s economic climate. Now is a great time to find new clients looking to capitalise on the opportunities ahead as the economy rebounds.”

Mr. Hart says all Enseer staff will continue their normal mode of operation in participating on projects.
