Synectics plc (AIM: SNX), a leader in advanced security and surveillance solutions, announces that Bob Holt OBE has informed the Board of his intention to step down as Non-Executive Chair, reflecting his increasing commitments to EARNZ plc, where he is a significant shareholder and Chair, and which is entering a period of growth requiring greater executive involvement.

Bob has a notice period of six months and will remain in the role in the interim to ensure an orderly transition while the Company undertakes a search for his successor.

The Board would like to thank Bob for his contribution over the past two years particularly in supporting the establishment of the Company’s growth strategy.

The Company has entered a new phase focused on the disciplined execution of its strategy, and a search has commenced for a new Chair with the skills and experience required to support delivery against the opportunities ahead. The Board will provide an update once this has concluded.
