(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of London-listed company director and manager changes announced on Tuesday and late Monday and not separately reported by Alliance News:
----------
Aquila Services Group PLC - Steve Douglas steps down as chief executive officer as part of cost cuts to cope with Covid-19 crisis. Derek Joseph moves to executive from non-executive chair on a part-time basis "until the crisis has abated and the group can plan how best to return to a growth path". Other cost savings include proposing no dividend for the financial year that ended last week, even though the company remained profitable and cash generative that year. Aquila provides consultancy and support services to the affordable housing, education, sports and community services sectors, and these organisations now are unable to make commitments during the period of uncertainty caused by the virus pandemic.
