Shatish has a proven track record of driving shareholder value which will be invaluable as we seek to return the Company to profitable growth.

"On behalf of the Board I would like to thank Ian for his dedication and commitment over the last four years and for his help in navigating the Company through some challenging times. The Board wishes Ian all the best for the future."
