- The first week of July has seen several leadership changes or board appointments for listed companies Kintyre Holdings (formerly iCreate Limited), Access Financial Services, and Dolphin Cove.
- Kintyre’s Chairman, President & CEO Mr. Tyrone Wilson, has formally taken on the additional role of Chief Executive Officer of Visual Vibe, a wholly owned subsidiary. In this capacity, he will spearhead the expansion of the company’s digital screen network, drive investments to support new location rollouts, and diversify service offerings, including entry into new geographic markets. Additionally, Ms. Jasmin Aslan will join Kintyre Holdings as Chief Business Officer while Mr. Andrew Wildish will resign as Chief Investment Officer effective June 30, 2025. The company’s investment will transition to Tyrone Wilson, supported by the Board’s Investment Committee, chaired by Mr. Nick Rowles-Davies.
- For Access, Mr. Marcus James concluded his one-year leave of absence and will resume his position as Executive Director on the boards of Access Financial Services and Embassy Loans Inc. Meanwhile, Mr. Michael Shaw will remain Chairman of both organisations.
- Lastly, on July 30th, Dolphin Cove’s board saw the removal of Eduardo Albor Villanueva and three other Mexican directors. The leadership changes follow a shareholder request under Article 95(h) of the company’s Articles of Incorporation. Following the departures, former chairman Stafford Burrowes and Steven Robert Strom were appointed as directors effective July 1st.
- The swathe of changes in DCOVE’s board occurred amid the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing for its parent company, World of Dolphins, which followed a similar filing by its intermediate parent, Dolphin Discovery, in Mexico. Since the filing, DCOVE’s share has declined by 37.1%, closing at $12.40 on July 2, 2025. At this price, the stock is trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 23.2x, which is above the Junior Market “Others” average of 20.7x
