NCC Group plc (LSE: NCC), the international, independent provider of Escrow and Assurance Testing, announces today that John Gittins, the Finance Director, will leave the Group on 25 February 2011.
The Board has taken this decision as it believes that John's undoubted skills are not best utilised in the Group.
The Group has commenced the search for a successor and has appointed Atul Patel as Interim Finance Director with immediate effect.
Atul, a chartered accountant, was formerly a Divisional Finance Director within Tribal Group plc. He brings with him a wealth of experience in running and operating finance and support functions as well as advising on business transformation.
As stated in the Group's Interim Report on 20 January 2011, NCC Group remains well on track to deliver another strong year, in line with market expectations, which positions the Group well for continued long term, sustained growth.
The Group will be publishing its next interim management statement on Tuesday, 19 April 2011.
