Steve Baldwin, Senior Independent Director, commented:
"As a Board we would like to express our gratitude to Henry for his leadership since the inception of TruFin. It was his vision and energy, with James by his side, that created the Group, and each of the Group's individual businesses have benefited greatly from his experience, judgement and counsel since that time. We are pleased to say that he will continue to provide his support as a consultant."
