Paul Goddard has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of High Modulus, a world leading supplier of composite materials, technology and structural engineering solutions.
Prior to joining High Modulus as Chief Operating Officer in May 2007, Paul was the founder and major shareholder of Aquapro International Ltd, a pioneer in the inflatable tender market. Through the 1990s, Aquapro’s sales rapidly expanded into Australia, Canada, the USA, Europe and the Pacific Islands, and in December 2002, the business was sold to the UK’s Survitec Group, the world’s largest marine safety company. Paul completed a two year management contract with Survitec, which included the relocation of Aquapro manufacturing to China, and spent two years consulting for a Chinese sports goods manufacturer, for whom he established a marine division, before joining High Modulus.
As CEO he will focus on the structure and development of High Modulus International, including a NZ headquarters-based management team, who will provide strategic direction and functional support for each regional operation: High Modulus Europe, High Modulus Australia and High Modulus Asia. Under Paul’s leadership, this new organisational direction will provide a strong foundation for the company’s future growth.
Richard Downs-Honey, former CEO, moves into the role of International Sales Director, with a focus on growing global group sales. Richard joined the company in the late 1970s and has been instrumental in the company’s development and success to date. His engineering expertise, practical experience, and knowledge of the company’s customer base, will ensure that High Modulus continues to provide its customers with the services and products they require in dynamic market conditions.
Richard Downs-Honey and Brian Jones remain directors and co-owners of the company.
