Toll Group appoints new Chief Financial Officer

Announcing the appointment, Toll’s Managing Director Elect, Brian Kruger, said: "In a career spanning more than 25 years, Grant has worked in senior roles in the UK and Europe as well as in Asia. He is a great example of the broad talent base we have developed within the company."

Grant Davenport has worked for Toll for five years. Since September Davenport has held the role of CFO on an interim basis. Before taking on this role, he was the Divisional Commercial Manager for the Toll Global Resources Division which operates in Australia, Asia and Africa. Prior to that, he spent two years as the CFO for Toll New Zealand.

Davenport has significant experience in the full range of finance, commercial, governance, strategy and business leadership responsibilities through both his time with Toll and also as an executive at Village Roadshow and the National Australia Bank.

Kruger added, "It was appropriate that my first senior appointment as MD Elect was of Mark Cowley from BlueScope as our new Head of Safety reporting directly to me. Announcing Grant as the new CFO fills another key role in my senior team and I am pleased that, following an extensive search, the best candidate was an internal appointment. Grant brings a wealth of experience, enthusiasm and leadership to the Group CFO role. The senior executive leadership team and I are looking forward to working even more closely with Grant in the future."
