"We would like to thank Andrew for both his strong commitment and contribution during his 5 years as a director, including the last 2 years as interim finance director which have seen substantial change at eg. His executive responsibilities, now in Australia, prevent him continuing in his Board role. We wish him every success for the future.
"We are delighted that Phil has joined the Board. He knows eg well having been a customer with three companies. His knowledge and experience of the financial services industry, including successful integration of acquisitions and implementation of major IT projects, will be invaluable to us. We look forward to working with him as a colleague."
