– UK, Reading – accesso Technology Group plc (AIM:ACSO), the premier technology solutions provider to leisure, entertainment, hospitality, attractions and cultural markets today announces a number of changes to its Board.
Firstly, accesso is pleased to announce the appointment of Andy Malpass as an Independent Non-Executive Director of the Group and Chair of the Group’s audit committee. Andy has over 30 years’ experience in the software industry within both private and public companies, including approximately 20 years as Group Finance Director of Fidessa Group plc (formerly, Royalblue Group plc). Andy also served as Company Secretary of Fidessa Group plc for many years, and is currently a non-executive director of Kainos Group plc where he serves as Chair of its Audit Committee.
Andy will take up the role on 26th June 2018, at which time David Gammon will step down as the chair of the Audit Committee. David, who joined the Board in 2010, will continue in his role as an independent non-executive director of the Group.
John Weston, who first joined accesso in May 2011, has decided to retire from the Board and from his role as Senior Independent Director. Joining the Group as its Non-Executive Chairman, John served in that role until May 2016, during which time he played a pivotal role in steering and shaping the Group’s rapid growth. He will be succeeded as Senior Independent Director by Karen Slatford, currently an Independent Non-Executive Director of the Group, who brings a wealth of technology expertise to the role. This change will also take effect on 26th June 2018.
Tom Burnet, Executive Chairman of accesso, commented: “We are pleased to be announcing these changes and delighted to be adding someone of Andy’s calibre to the Board of Accesso. He brings significant experience to this important role and the Group will benefit from his leadership as we look forward to the next phase in our development.
On behalf of the rest of the Board and the entire company, I’d also like to thank John Weston for his distinguished service over a period of significant growth for the Group and we wish him well in his retirement.
