It is with great sadness that the Board of BMO Global Smaller Companies PLC announces that Andrew Adcock, a Non-Executive Director of the Company since 2007, passed away on 27 January following a period of illness.
Anthony Townsend, Chairman of the Company, commented:
"Andrew battled bravely with ill health these past couple of years with a courage, humour and determination that was truly inspirational. Andrew was a very talented Director of the Company, much liked and greatly respected by all members of the Board, Shareholders and the Company's Manager, BMO Investment Business Limited.
His fellow Directors are deeply distressed by his death and feel we have lost not just a highly valued colleague but a good friend too. We send our deepest sympathy to his wife and children."
