Directorate Change
Idox plc (AIM: IDOX), a leading supplier of specialist document management collaboration solutions and services to the UK public sector and highly regulated asset intensive industries, announces a change to its Board of Directors (the "Board").
Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), William Edmondson, has today resigned from the Group to take up an appointment outside the quoted sector. Consequently he steps down from his position as CFO and from the Board. Mr Edmondson will remain with the Group until October 2013, the end of the current financial year, to assist with the orderly transition of the role.
An executive search firm is being engaged by the Group to find a long-term replacement for Mr Edmondson. Until a new, permanent CFO is engaged, Richard Kellett-Clarke, the Group's CEO, will resume responsibility for the finance function in the short-term assisted by Group Financial Controller, Jane Mackie, to ensure the continuing robust financial management of the Group.
The Board will provide a further update once the formal search process has concluded.
Martin Brooks, Non-Executive Chairman of Idox, commented:
"On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Will for his contribution to Idox's development over the past five years; a period in which we have seen the company nearly double in size, and we wish him well in his new role."
