At the same time, Thorn’s chief financial officer, Peter Forsberg would be appointed as acting CEO effective 24 April until a permanent replacement is identified.
Thorn’s chairman, Joycelyn Morton, said: “We have built a strong management team over the past three years and we believe this will hold the organisation in good stead as the board commences a search for a new leader to take the organisation forward”.
