I don’t discuss information from internal company announcements, but this naturally made the PRNewswire (hmmm – can’t find it anymore?! – oh well, here’s the link to Yahoo News):

MEDINA, Ohio, July 31. Corrpro Companies, Inc. announced today that its Board of Directors has named William V. Larkin, Jr. President and Chief Executive Officer of Corrpro effective as of August 1, 2006. Mr. Larkin has also been appointed to serve on Corrpro’s Board of Directors effective as of the same date.

Mr. Larkin was previously President and CEO of Tuboscope Vetco International, a worldwide publicly traded oilfield service company. Tuboscope’s product lines included corrosion detection and corrosion prevention services for the oilfield, pipeline and above ground storage tank markets.

The old CEO left in what, October last year, so it’s good to see a new president named. I think it’s especially good to see someone who is familiar with the industry.

You know what? I think I’m going to send him an email suggesting that he starts a blog. Wouldn’t it be great to get news from the top on a regular basis?

On an interesting side note, while researching this story, I stumbled across a legal commentary blog covering some of the legal issues surrounding the acrimonious departure of the Meiers from Corrpro.
