Listed companies looking for new finance bosses

TWO high-profile listed North West companies are looking for financial chiefs after resignations from their boards.

Manchester-based NCC Group, the global expert in cyber security and risk mitigation firm, says its chief financial officer Atul Patel has resigned from the board with immediate effect.

He will leave the business on February 3 2017, or before if his successor is appointed. A search for his replacement has begun.

Chief executive Rob Cotton said: “On behalf of everyone at NCC Group, I would like to thank Atul for his valuable contribution to the business over the last five years.

“He played a key financial role as we have grown the business organically and by acquiring a range of small and more recently, large businesses around the world.”

Meanwhile, Cheshire-based NWF Group, the specialist agricultural distribution business delivering feed, food and fuel across the UK, says its finance director Brendon Banner is stepping done from the board at the end of the month.

A recruitment process is underway to appoint his replacement.
