The Company also announces that its Chief Executive Dominic White will move from an Executive to a Non-Executive position on the Board with effect from the conclusion of the AGM. Russell Naylor, currently an Executive Director of KCR, will become the Chief Executive of the board. He will continue to oversee the finance function. 

The Company notes that Dominic White, having served as Chief Executive and being a significant shareholder, will not be deemed an independent Non-Executive Director for the purposes of the QCA Code, which the Company has adopted, although he will be independent of Torchlight.

It is intended at the appropriate time to seek appointment of a further Independent Non-Executive Director.
