K3 Business Technology Group plc announced the board changes. Stuart Darling, chairman, has notified the company of his intention to step down from the board at the company's next AGM in May. Stuart will cease to act as chairman with immediate effect, though will remain as a non-executive director (and audit committee chairman) until the AGM. Pending the appointment of a new chairman, Jonathan Manley (a non-executive director at K3 since December 2015) will step into the role of interim chairman to ensure continuity. Paul Morland, non-executive director, has also notified the company of his intention to step down from the board at the company's next AGM in May. The company intends to appoint a new non-executive director to replace Paul in the near future, with a search for Paul's replacement already well advanced.
