Duff Appointed as CFO of High End Systems

During the PLASA Show came the announcement from High End that it has appointed Peter Duff as chief financial officer (CFO) of High End Systems Inc. Duff has held a number of CFO positions with Pfizer and Hanson and lately the electronics company International Flex Technologies, and his appointment comes after a series of high profile changes at the company. Duff attended the Liverpool City Institute before graduating at Bradford University with a business degree. Following training with PriceWaterhouseCoopers in London and subsequent work as a Chartered Accountant he moved to Canada, where he became CFO of Pfizer Canada, transferring to the company’s corporate headquarters in New York in the mid-1980s. There then followed a 10-year stint with Hanson Plc and a number of CFO assignments. In 1999, Duff left Hanson to establish International Flex Technologies - an electronics company started from scratch to run a spin-off business purchased from IBM.

Frank Gordon, CEO of High End told us: "After several months as acting CFO at High End,it's a real pleasure to have Peter as full-time CFO. He brings a wealth of business experience and communication skills to the financial reporting team at High End. He's personal, bright and more than just a bean counter."

At the same time, the company has also announced the appointment of Deanna Parnell, a four-year veteran of High End Systems, Inc, as controller for the company.
