The FTSE 250 firm said at that point, Simon Laffin would be retiring as both non-executive chairman and a director.
It had initially announced Laffin’s retirement and Smith’s appointment on 22 March.
“Simon's vision and determination for the company has guided it through a turnaround from a business suffering severe financial difficulties in 2011 to the well-financed and focused company we have today,” said senior independent director David Richardson at the time.
“He leaves a strong management team and board in place.
“I'm delighted that Ed has agreed to take on the role of chairman.”
