Former Blue Bird CEO Phil Horlock resigns from board

Blue Bird Corporation (NASDAQ: BLBD) announced that Phil Horlock, former chief executive officer and board member, resigned from the board effective immediately.

Horlock served as president and CEO of the school bus manufacturer for more than 12 years before stepping down nearly one year ago when John Wyskiel was appointed to the role. Horlock remained on the board following the CEO transition.

"On behalf of the entire Board and leadership team, I want to thank Phil for his extraordinary service to Blue Bird," said Doug Grimm, chairman of the board. "His vision, discipline, and integrity as CEO helped shape the strong foundation we operate from today."

Horlock said serving Blue Bird as CEO and director was "the privilege of a lifetime" and expressed confidence in the current leadership and strategic direction of the company.

Blue Bird designs and manufactures school buses and markets itself as a leader in electric and clean-emission vehicles. The Macon, Georgia-based company was founded in 1927.
