LONDON (Alliance News) - The Times on Monday reported the finance head of Provident Financial PLC's troubled consumer credit division has left, citing an internal memo.
Shares in Provident were down 8.2% at 603.00 pence early Monday.
An internal memo announcing the departure of Phillip McLelland was sent to managers two weeks ago, The Times said, and the nature of his departure "remains unclear". Provident declined to comment and a spokesman refused to clarify whether investors had been informed.
Chris Gillespie, the head of the division, wrote in the email that McLelland had "left the business with our very best wishes and grateful thanks for everything he has done".
McLelland has been replaced by Ele Thornhill, head of online financial strategy at Provident's Satsuma Loans unit, with immediate effect.
