Trakm8 Holdings plc, one of Europe's leading aftermarket telematics vendors,

Company and its subsidiaries with immediate effect.

He is replaced as Chairman by Charles Dawson Buck, who joined the Board of

Dawson, aged 59, is an internationally experienced Director with over three
decades of experience at senior management and non-executive level. He has
founded and built a multitude of companies individually, as well as initiating
and innovating substantial change within large international corporations in the
US, Europe, Asia Pacific and Eastern Europe. Dawson currently holds positions as
Non-Executive Chairman of both L3 Technology Ltd and Provexis Plc, where he lead
the team who successfully completed a reverse takeover flotation of the company

Corporation Inc, President of Sensormatic International and Deputy Chief
Executive ANGLE plc.

Commenting on Richard White, Cary Knapton, CEO of Trakm8, said:

"Richard joined the Board prior to the Company's admission on AIM and without
his commitment, advice and support the Company would not have made the huge
progress that it has to date. The experience and enthusiasm with which he has
served as Chairman has ensured that we have developed from being a local
business to a publicly quoted company with huge potential for growth as a
leading player in the worldwide telematics industry.

"On behalf of our shareholders, our staff and the board of Directors I would
like to express our thanks to Richard and wish him well for the future."
