"I and the rest of the Board would like to thank John for all his hard work for Flow over the years, especially drawing on John's experience to help with the successful fundraise completed this year. John has been instrumental in ensuring Flowgroup has attracted the funding to continue its development, and in helping to develop a robust strategic vision for the Company. He will be missed both on a professional and personal level. Welcoming Alan to the business will, we believe, bring further experience in helping us achieve our goals as we enter a new phase of our development."
