Passing of Group CFO Fern
MacDonald
It is with deep sadness that
accesso Technology Group
plc (AIM: ACSO) announces that Fern MacDonald,
the Group's CFO, passed away on 12 August following an unflinching
battle with cancer. The thoughts of all at accesso are with Ms. MacDonald's family
at this time.
As the Group mourns the loss of Ms.
MacDonald, Matthew Boyle, the Group's current VP Finance, will
assume the role of Interim CFO effective immediately. Mr. Boyle is
an experienced practitioner who has been with the Group for 5
years, serving two of those as Ms. MacDonald's deputy. Prior to
accesso, Mr. Boyle was with
BDO UK LLP for 8 years.
Bill Russell, accesso Non-Executive Chairman,
said:
"On behalf of the Accesso Board I would like to express my
sincere condolences to Fern's family. Quite apart from being a
model CFO she was an outstanding person whose contribution to the
Company was immeasurable. She will be
sorely missed by all."
Steve Brown, accesso CEO, said:
"We are heartbroken at the passing of Fern, our beloved
colleague and dear friend. Her commitment to her work and
dedication to our team inspired all of us to strive for
excellence.
On
a personal level, she was my trusted advisor with incredible
intelligence and unmatched determination. She faced this health
challenge with the same unyielding courage and strength that we all
admired in her. I feel fortunate to have worked alongside her and
she will be profoundly missed. Our hearts go out to her husband,
son, and her entire family."
