Jaywing chairman Martin Boddy quits with immediate effect

The Sheffield-based agency announced today that Mr Boddy has stepped down as a Director and Executive Chairman "with immediate effect in order to pursue other interests".

Jaywing said that the search for a new executive chairman is underway. A further announcement will be made in due course once the appointment is made.

Meanwhile Ian Robinson will take on the role of Non-Executive Chairman, on an interim basis. An operating executive committee comprising the two senior executive directors will report directly to the Non-Executive Chairman.

Mr Boddy will continue to support Jaywing for an interim period in order to ensure an orderly transition.

Ian Robinson, Chairman commented: "On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Martin for his contribution to the board and for leading the business over the last eight years. We wish him all the best for the future."
