T&G Global announced that Alastair Hulbert resigns as chief executive, effective December 15, 2017. The company has called Thomas Bargetzi to act as interim CEO while it looks for a new boss. Hulbert was promoted to chief executive in 2013, having run the company on a temporary basis with then-chief financial officer Harald Hamster-Egerer after former head Geoff Hipkins departed suddenly amid media reports of a breakdown in his working relationship with senior management.

His departure comes a day after former deputy chair John Anderson's formal retirement from T&G's board.
