Board Changes

The Board of Concha is pleased to announce the appointment of Chris Akers as Executive Chairman of the Company effective immediately. Chris replaces Mark Barney Battles who resigned as Non-Executive Chairman on 28 December 2012 to continue his role as Non-Executive Chairman of Enables IT plc (EIT), recently readmitted to AIM.

Mr Akers has already served on several public and private company boards, including several AIM companies and is expected to be of great value to the Company, both on a technical and corporate level. He began his career in Media, as a research analyst for Saatchi and Saatchi, and moved on to work for both the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, and then for Citicorp. He was Chairman and Chief Executive of Leeds United plc from 1996-98. In 1999, he founded Sports Internet Group plc, which was admitted to AIM later that year and acquired by British Sky Broadcasting plc in 2000 for GBP300m.
