Additionally, senior independent NED Martin Wood will lead the audit and risk committee, effective immediately, replacing Ms Stevens.

“I would like to thank Francis for his contribution since joining the board in 2019, especially for his guidance through the early funding process and the transition to a listed company,” said chairman David Cather.

“I would also like to thank Grace for her dedication leading the audit and risk committee and overseeing the company’s drive to meet the highest governance standards expected of a listed company.
