A good move for the company, a great move for our clients Welcome to the first edition of Wells Haslem’s magazine, The Shell for 2017 – our Autumn edition. Wells Haslem Mayhew: Leadership change All the members of the Wells Haslem team are working John Wells, Chairman on a range of new and exciting projects. A very important shift has taken place at Wells Haslem and is the subject of this edition. For a long time I have thought that the range and diversity of the work within the company required a subtle change in our leadership. While Ben has done a great job in helping guide the company to success over our initial five years, Alexandra has played no small part in its initial success. Therefore the three partners have agreed that Alexandra will become joint CEO with Ben. I will remain chairman and continue to work full time with the rest of the team. Alexandra’s elevation is a good move for the company, it’s a great move for our clients and demonstrates that we reward ability and commitment. Alexandra, along with Ben and I have helped grow the business to the point it is now, and even more importantly, has built strong and enduring client relationships. Along with Alexandra’s elevation to a management role, we will also make a slight change to the name to reflect her position as joint CEO.
