Mark Adams, Chief Executive Officer of Attraqt, commented:

"First and foremost, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Nick Habgood for his service during his time as Chairman. His guidance to the business over this time has been invaluable and he has always provided me and the rest of the Board with sound counsel and dynamic leadership. The Board and I sincerely thank him for his contribution to the business.

We are delighted to welcome Tom to Attraqt. Tom is a decisive and energetic leader known for his ability to execute strategies and motivate team members. With a rare mix of sales, commercial, finance and operations experience, I am confident that Attraqt will benefit from Tom's expertise as we continue to execute on our growth strategy."

Tom Crawford, Non-executive Chairman, commented:

"I am very much looking forward to joining the business and working with the Board as the Company looks to continue to make operational and financial progress. It is clear that Attraqt's offering is extremely relevant in the current market environment, and I am confident that we can build a scalable business, continue to service our customers' needs, achieve operational excellence and bring further innovation to the market."

Nick Habgood commented:

"It has been an honour to be Chairman of Attraqt for much of the last seven years and I would like to take the opportunity to thank staff and shareholders for their support over this time. I am pleased to now be handing over the reins to someone so accomplished and have no doubt that Tom's experience and leadership will be of great value to the Board going forwards. Attraqt has a fantastic future ahead and I am confident that, with the support of the Board and Management Team, Tom is perfectly placed to guide the Group through its next stage of growth."
