and marketing expertise will prove invaluable in driving the business forward
and we wish him well in his new role.

"I should like to thank Jon Marx for the substantial contribution he has made to
the Company during the past 4 years. He has begun several changes to the
structure and direction of the Group and leaves a more efficient base for his
successor to build on. Jon will be working closely with Adam over the next 5
months to ensure an effective transition."
