Chair Tony Faure: "We are delighted that he has agreed to remain with oOh! in a non-executive consulting role, which means the company continues to benefit from his unparalleled knowledge and industry insights.
"On behalf of the company, I want to personally thank Brendon for his enormous commitment and dedication to building and leading our business for the past 30 years."
