"On behalf of the Board I would like to thank Donal for his service to Kedco and wish him well in his future ventures. I would also like to say to all our stakeholders that Kedco will continue to implement its existing business strategy in full. This is a time of opportunity for biomass and in our view this sector now has the best risk return profile in the renewable energy space."

"I have enjoyed immensly taking Kedco to this stage in its development and I wish the board and all employees well in the future. Biomass is the most exciting area in the Renewable Energy sector and Kedco is ideally positioned to capitalise on this opportunity. I would like to thank all stakeholders and look forward with excitement to the future. I will continue to be involved as a shareholder and very much look forward to the continuing success of the group, and will use all endeavours to support the strategy we previously developed."
