Genedrive finance chief announces April departure

Molecular diagnostics company Genedrive said on Wednesday that its chief financial officer Matthew Fowler would be leaving it and stepping down from the board on 19 April.

The AIM-traded firm had announced on 16 November that Fowler intended to stand down after five years in the role.

His departure was being made so he could take up the CFO position at second-hand and refurbished products retailer musicMagpie.

“The company will make a further announcement in due course with regards to recruitment of a new chief financial officer,” the Genedrive board said in its statement.

At 1434 GMT, shares in Genedrive were down 6.6% at 13.31p.
