Cyan Holdings (AIM:CYAN.L), the integrated system and software design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for utility metering and lighting control, announces the appointment to the Board of the Company with immediate effect of Henry (known as Harry) Berry as a Non-Executive Director.

Harry has over 30 years' experience in the technology and telecommunications industries and has held a wide range of senior positions and responsibilities in sales, global product management, change management, and development programs. Harry joined BT in 1970 and was responsible for the creation of BT Brightstar, a corporate incubator focusing on BT's R&D portfolio to create technology venturing. Harry is currently European Partner with New Venture Partners, a global venture capital firm dedicated to corporate technology spinouts with over $700 million under management. He is also the Chairman of the Eastern Enterprise Hub, which is an organisation responsible for delivering entrepreneurship into academic establishments working with the University Campus Suffolk and colleges across the eastern region of England. Harry is also the Chairman of New Anglia Capital, which helps to provide funding for early stage businesses.

During the period from 2006 to 2011, Harry was an independent director on the Board of Subex Azure Limited (now Subex Limited), a leading global provider of Business Support Systems, headquartered in Bangalore (India) with operations in the UK, US, Singapore, Dubai and Australia. Subex is listed on the Bombay and National Stock Exchanges in India, with a further listing on the Professional Securities Market of the London Stock Exchange.

The Company also announces that Stephen Newton has resigned from the Board with immediate effect due to health issues that meant he no longer feels able to fulfill the role of a Non-Executive Director of an AIM listed company.

Harry has substantial skills and experience in developing successful international companies and we look forward to working with him. I would also like to thank Stephen for his assistance over the short period where he has been on the Cyan Board and I wish him well in overcoming the health issues that resulted in his resignation."
