RE:It may seem quiet, but things are happening behind the scene

Personally, I would like to see someone from outside Xebec get the COO job. Someone with solid construction management and estimating credentials who can be seen to be bringing in new and improved capabilities to Xebec. Someone who can train existing Xebec personel who judging by past performance need it. Promoting from within may just be promoting someone who has been part of the problem at Xebec and would not do much to inspire the confidence of the market.

   Kurt has previously mentioned that the selection process "is down to the short strokes". He has said, "by June".
   There is no doubt this news, when it comes, will have an impact.
   It is difficult to gauge what the extent of that impact might be, given that the market has no idea who it will be named new the new chief operating officer.
   It seems to me that the longer this "process" takes to complete, the more likely the winning candidate will be someone promoted from within.
    Xebec has an extensive pool of talent. No doubt several amongst them are deserving of a milestone in their career. Loyal, qualified employees who have been there for decades count in the dozens.
   I can't think of a possibly more moral -boosting, incentivizing, mutually compatible, team-building, and symbiotic announcement that Xebec could make in concluding this chapter in the selection process.
   It would also make a lot of sense.
