----------
Coral Products PLC - Manchester, England-based maker of bespoke plastic products - CEO Lance Burn resigns "by mutual agreement" and will leave this coming Thursday, as Coral cuts costs amid a "continued challenging trading environment". Burn joined Coral Products from IG Design Group PLC only in January. Ian Hillman, managing director of the Flexibles division, will become group chief operating officer, responsible for day-to-day oversight and direction of all businesses. "The market corrections reported at the start of the calendar year and the unexpected and continuing headwinds announced in our recent trading update demanded the 'right-sizing' of the group to maintain its financial resilience," Coral explains. "As a part of this, Lance felt that he can no longer contribute to our M&A plans as originally envisaged and accordingly, the costs associated with his involvement would be better removed from the business."
