RM announces the appointment of Iain McIntosh as Chief Financial Officer, in succession to Mike Greig who will retire and leave the Group's Board on 31 March 2010.
Iain will join RM on 30 November 2009. He will take over as Chief Financial Officer and be appointed to the Board on 1 April 2010, which will allow an orderly handover period.
Iain McIntosh (46) most recently served as Chief Financial Officer of Axon, the FTSE 250 business transformation consultancy, from 2006 to 2009. He oversaw a strong period of business growth there, culminating in Axon being acquired by HCL Technologies.

Mike Greig (53) was appointed to RM's Board as Finance Director in 1989. He was appointed Chief Financial Officer at the time of the Group's listing in 1994. He is retiring to dedicate himself to a number of charitable and other projects in which he is already closely involved.
John Leighfield. Chairman of RM, said:
"We are delighted that Iain McIntosh is joining us as Chief Financial Officer. His considerable experience in the sector and proven focus on shareholder value creation will be beneficial to all of our stakeholders.
"On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Mike for the inestimable contribution he has made to RM during his 20 years in the role. His insight and sound commercial judgment have helped transform RM from a privately-held computer manufacturer into the international education solutions business it is today. He leaves RM with an excellent reputation for sound finances and in a strong position to deliver future growth."
