Directorate Change

In addition, Ian Davies, a valued non-executive director since June 2005, has decided to tender his resignation from the Board with immediate effect. 

Nigel Freer, the Chairman, said "Ian has proved an immensely able and thoughtful non executive director throughout his tenure and the Board and I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to him for his contribution over the past five years.  His experience and counsel will be missed."  

In light of the Board's stated aim of reducing the Group's central cost base, it is not envisaged that Ian Davies will be replaced in the near term.  Jim McCarthy will take up the role of Chairman of the Audit Committee.
