Smiths Group is set for a change up at the top level after chief executive Paul Keel announced his departure with immediate effect.
(Reuters) -Britain's Smiths Group picked Roland Carter, an insider at the engineering firm, to be its new CEO on Tuesday as it reported a rise half-year profit and announced 100 million pounds ($126 million) of new share buybacks.
