Northern Bear Plc

('Northern Bear' or the 'Company')

Directorate Change

Northern Bear, the Northern based group of 12 building services businesses, announces that Jon Pither has today stepped down as chairman and a director.

Mr Pither, who, together with chief executive Graham Forrest, founded the Company and developed the business strategy which it continues to apply, is stepping down in order to avoid any potential future conflict of interest between his other business commitments and the activities of the group.  

Mr Forrest said: 'Jon will be greatly missed by the board and, in particular, by me. Northern Bear's growth and success to date is due, in no small part, to his great experience and excellent advice'.

Howard Gold, the deputy chairman, will assume the role of chairman following Mr Pither's resignation.
