"I am pleased to welcome Ian to Redcentric on behalf of the Board. Ian's wealth of experience will be of great benefit to the Company and we look forward to working with him. 

As stated on 20^th August 2019, when the Chairman notified the Board of his intention to step down, I would like to again thank Chris, on behalf of the Board and all at Redcentric, for his counsel, guidance and leadership over the last five years and wish him all the best for the future. Chris has led the Board through a time of major change for the Company and leaves Redcentric in a stable position with a clearly defined strategy and opportunities for growth.

Finally, I would also like to thank Chris Rigg for his contribution to the Company this year and to wish him well in his new role.''
