In February, chairwoman Margie Haseltine was “delighted” to extend long-serving chief Darryl Abotomey’s term to late 2023. By 22 November, the company said he was resigning on a high (laudatory newspaper interviews and all). And by Monday 07 Dec, Abotomey was immediately turfed, because of a “marked deterioration” in his relationship with Bapcor’s board that made even his working through his brief three-month notice period “untenable”. The board hoped the next chief would display a “more contemporary leadership and management approach”.
