Cambridge Cognition Holdings plc, (AIM: COG), which specialises in computerised neuropsychological tests including those enabling the early detection of dementia, announces that Dr. Andy Blackwell will step down as an Executive Director but will remain on the Board as a Non-Executive Director with effect from the 1 July 2015.
Andy joined the Company in 2006 and was appointed as a Director and CSO in 2007. Andy helped the Company list on AIM in April 2013 and assisted in the completion of the new strategic plan which is now being implemented.
