Transense Technologies plc (the 'Company' or 'Transense') 5 August 2009 Director Appointment Transense is pleased to announce the appointment of David Michael Ford, aged 53, to its board as a non-executive director with immediate effect. David qualified as a solicitor in 1980. He specialised in Intellectual Property (IP) law. In the late 1980's he dealt with the acquisition by his firm, Tarlo Lyons, of the entire consumer debt recovery department of HSBC and negotiated a long term contract to deal with all branch consumer debt. In 1990 he became the firm's first Managing Partner. In 1993 he left the firm to move into a general business environment. Since then he has been involved with a variety of companies in various industries in a non-executive or semi-executive capacity. In 1998 he led the management buyout of the consumer debt recovery department of his old firm, Tessera Group, and is still the non-executive chairman of that company. In 2006 he established a company specialising in email encryption, Securecoms, which he still heads. It numbers HSBC among its shareholders and is the only non-banking/finance related direct investment ever made by HSBC.
