The Company intends to appoint a replacement director as soon as practicable and will make a further announcement once a suitable person has been identified.

Gavin Little, Chairman of Active Energy Group plc commented:

"We would like to thank Christopher for his contribution to the Company over the last five years, especially in the lead up to the acquisition process of Bioenerho-Leader Limited. Following this acquisition the Company has started to ship biomass materials from the Ukraine to our first Polish customer and is looking to further build this business as a core part of Active Energy's proposition. Christopher is now seeking to pursue other plc interests and the Board wishes him well in his future endeavours.

Our initial order for biomass feedstock is positive news for the Company and we are now working hard to increase sales. The Company is encouraged by the number of potential opportunities in this market particularly in Poland and other EU markets and hopes to capitalise on this in the short to medium term."
