Board changes

During the transition period, James Appleby, Chairman will be committing more time to the Group for at least the next six months, and Ash Mehta will be taking on additional responsibilities in the CFO role.
The Company expects the results for the year ending 30 April 2021 to be in line with market expectations and will be issuing a trading update in late May.
