COMPANIES: Boardroom drama at Huge Group leads to shock resignations of three directors and their swift replacement

The directors – Dr Duarte da Silva, Dr Craig Lyons and Professor Brian Armstrong – all tendered their immediate resignations and have been replaced by Veran Kathan in the role of independent non-executive

At no time did we have any idea that all three gentlemen would, right at the very end of the meeting, collectively tender their resignations.That statement falls a bit flat given how quickly the replacements were effected, although the CVs of the replacement directors do speak to a wealth of experience.
