PittCorp CEO resigns

7 March 2011. In a shock announcement today, PittCorp CEO, Trevor Pitt, resigned, citing "family reasons".

An undisclosed source close to the company claimed that Trevor's recent performance was just "not up to scratch". In particular, the loss of 4 valuable breeding stock from PittCorp Aquaculture (believed taken by next door's cat) were directly attributable to Trevor being asleep on the job.

Corporation Secretary, Trin (Ms Fixit) Strickland, has been appointed interim CEO, and it is believed that Chairman John Pitt, may take a more active role.

Markets rallied at this news, with many shareholders cashing in their BHP and Newscorp shares to invest more heavily in PittCorp.

It already has the infrastructure necessary for the new PittCorp Aquatic Centre, and we have plans for an Aquaculture Division.
