Accordingly, the Group is committed to compliance with the provisions of the QCA Corporate Code published by the Quoted Companies Alliance.

As part of an ongoing review of AdEPT board practices the board acknowledges the guidance to retain independent non-executive directors with an appropriate length of service. The appointment of Craig Wilson, alongside the recent appointment of Richard Bligh as a non-executive director, is intended to strengthen the board capability.

He has been central to agreeing a clear strategy and implementation plan and he has seen the business grow substantially since he joined us at our IPO in 2006. We wish him every success in the future and thank him for his outstanding contribution. He is a big part of our history".
