Kevin Jennings, said: "It has been a difficult decision to leave ABG, a company
with both great assets and people. I have taken real pleasure over the past
three years in seeing the business develop and believe ABG will continue to
build on the strong platform we have established."
Greg Hawkins, Chief Executive Officer, added: "I have thoroughly enjoyed
working with Kevin over the past few years as we have progressed ABG. Whilst we
