Directorate Change
PCF, the AIM-quoted specialist bank, announces that Anthony Nelson is stepping down today as a non-executive director of the Company, upon the appointment of Mr David Titmuss also announced today.

He has held the positions of Chief Executive and Chairman during his time with the Company and thus has provided much of the foundation for its success. Mr Nelson believes that it is the appropriate time for him to retire and the Board would like to place on record its appreciation of the contribution he has made to the Group over many years.
Tim Franklin, Chairman, commented: "Tony has been an invaluable member of the Board during his tenure, undertaking a variety of senior roles in the company as both an executive and non-executive. He has been unstinting in sharing his vast experience of the business and the sector. On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Tony for his many years of distinguished service and wish him and his family the very best for the future."
