Heal expresses sadness about Triton fall-out
Worldchoice chairman and managing director and former Triton chairman Colin Heal has expressed his sadness about the departure of Advantage from the Triton group.
“As a founder member and instigator of Triton I am very sad that this has happened, but there is nothing I can do about it.
“If they don’t wish to remain, they have a perfect right to say so, but it is a pity that we have not carried on as we started. Triton with the three groups has achieved a great deal.
“The potential is there to achieve much more but obviously that is not going to happen now.
“But we will forge on together and with no animosity towards Advantage. Certainly we will remain on amicable terms both with John (McEwan) personally and with Advantage.”
He stressed that Worldchoice would not be poaching Advantage members as there is a ‘no-poaching’ agreement between the groupings.
