feel the timing is right to retire from the Board alongside a number of my
non-executive positions. It has been a great pleasure working with the team
during a period of such rapid growth, and particularly as the Group reached an
important milestone when we successfully completed our AIM IPO last July.

continued support throughout my time with the business, and wish them all the
best for the Group's very bright future."

 

Angela Williams commented: "I am delighted to be joining Northcoders at such
an exciting time for the Group and to become a part of its mission to address
the ever growing digital skills gap across the UK. I very much looking forward

momentum the Group has seen in the past 12 months, as it continues to deliver
on the growth strategy set out at IPO."
