The AIM-traded firm said Fletcher had been chief financial officer of the company since his appointment on 11 February.
It said he had more than 25 years of experience working in the commodity and financial services industries, having held a variety of senior international finance and operational roles in trading, processing, and financial businesses in the US, Europe, and Asia - most recently with US agribusiness and food company Bunge, as global chief financial officer and controller of Bunge Financial Services, and as treasury and trading product line controller.
